British Fencing is pleased to be supporting the GLL Camden International Cadet Sabre Tournament on the weekend of 25-26 January 2014.  This is the eighth year in a row that the event has run which now holds European Confederation of Fencing ratification for the European Cadet ranking scheme.

The individual tournaments (boys and girls) will be held at the Copper Box in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park (25^th January), a venue that hosted both handball and modern pentathlon events during the 2012 Games.  The team events will be held at the recently opened Leon Paul Fencing Centre the following day.
