If you don’t actively take part in fencing, you can choose a Supporter membership. This provides insurance cover, including public liability and personal accident protection. It ensures you are covered while carrying out voluntary roles within fencing such as those undertaken by parents, armourers, referees, and club welfare officers – whether acting independently or on behalf of your club, region, section, or a competition.
This membership category has access to online copies of the Sword but will not be entitled to vote at the BF AGM.
Supporter membership is for Volunteers, Fans, Supporters and Parents.
Benefits include reduced price training, public liability and access to specific accreditation for major events.
(3rd Party Liability & Personal Accident)

The standard Membership (whether Introduction/ Support/ Starter/ Recreational/ Compete) does not include liability insurance cover if you are operating in a professional capacity – e.g. coaching or refereeing for payment.
To benefit from this, you must be on the relevant BF register with your qualifications and minimum professional standards in place to be fully covered. There may be an additional charge in some cases for this registration. For more information please contact [email protected].
