The Veteran movement was started in order to give fencers the opportunity of fencing well beyond the age where they can be competitive on the senior circuit. Any fencer who is over 40 qualifies as a veteran and BVF gives the platform to fence competitively for as long as possible.
BVF holds a variety of competitions throughout the year to cater for all skill levels of the membership and aims to balance the needs of elite athletes striving to qualify to represent Great Britain and those social fencers who want to test their mettle amongst their peers.
