BVF International – EVF Guildford 2026

Gillian Aghajan receives prestigious honour

A word from the president

Hello and welcome to the British Veterans Fencing website!

I’m glad you’ve found us and I imagine that if you’ve made it this far down the page, then you might well be just the person we are looking for! So what can we offer you?

How about exercise that keeps your mind sharp and your body fit? Or a range of competitions and events to suit most fencers? Or perhaps a group of like-minded individuals to share experiences?

Maybe the chance to represent your country in fencing at the highest level? Join BVF to take the next step on your fencing journey, I can’t wait to meet you!

Why do people join the Veterans? 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!
