The BVF International is an annual competition which invites fencers from abroad to compete as part of the EVF Circuit. Epee and Foil are the nominated weapons for EVF Circuit ranking points, but sabre is also held over the weekend.
This event is fought in age groups categories, although poules may be fought in Vets (Cat 1 and 2) and Grand Vets (Cat 3 and 4) depending on numbers.
For the subsequent twelve months, the results will be used for selection for the Veterans World Championships and Veterans European Team Championships.
