Temporary Membership (International Visitors)

Purpose

All fencers require a BF membership to participate in a competition.

Temporary Membership is a one competition membership for International Visitor Fencers who are members of their National Federation and wish to travel to compete in a Fencing competition in the UK.

Holders of Temporary Membership are not entitled to a place on the BF rankings and they are not entitled to represent a UK club whilst competing in the UK.

A maximum of two Temporary Memberships can be granted to one fencer in any 12 month period.

No discount is available on any subsequent upgrade to a standard membership product.

Holders of temporary memberships are not entitled to a place on the ranking.

In the event that a temporary membership holder becomes a standard compete member, only those points earned after the standard compete membership start date shall count towards ranking and no previously published rankings will be amended.
