Come for a day of fun and friendly Club competition! The schedule of events (all times approximate) is arranged so you can compete in multiple weapons and age divisions.

This comp is for MFC members only (your membership must be current).

Free entry for all!

Registration

• Please register by selecting a ticket for EACH event you want to compete in.
• Registration closes 11.59pm on Thursday 1 June 2023.
• No late entries are possible after registration closes. If you turn up on the day without having registered you won't be able to fence, but we'll be grateful for your help refereeing and generally helping to run the day.

Fundraising tickets ($5, $10, $20) are also available – buy as many as you like! Each fundraising ticket comes with a complimentary club patch and all money raised will go towards covering the expenses associated with holding the competition (hall booking, medals etc), and to buying equipment.

Helping out
Setup is from 9.00am and anyone is welcome to come and lend a hand so we can commence the comp on time at 9.30am.

All training and events at the Club are run as per the Club's COVIDSafe training plan. Please review this to ensure you comply with the requirements.

Thanks to support from Katoomba and Upper Blue Mountains Community Bendigo Bank Branch, we’ve been able to buy a laptop to run the comp using the software Fencing Time.
