Welcome To Veterans Fencing

Bonn - WF Team

German match, Bonn, Germany 2007

Members travelled to Bonn for a training camp and a 3-way match between Great Britain, Germany and France. The training facilities and coaching were very, very good. We aim to beat the German team but can never quite manage it

Why do people join the NVA? Everyone remarks on the spirit and the atmosphere at the competitions. This comes from our having a common love of fencing and interest in the skill of the sport. Vets have usually given up the regular competitive circuit but the fencing brain is still there as sharp as ever
