FENCING NORTH OPEN CHAMPIONSHIPS 2023
Ranking Competition for ALL events

IMPORTANT HEALTH NOTICE - MINIMISING SPREAD OF COVID 19 AND OTHER RESPIRATORY AND FLU-LIKE INFECTIONS IN OUR COMMUNITY

Safeguarding the health and safety of our Fencing North Community and Whanau is very important to us.

Although the NZ Government has removed compulsory COVID 19 safeguards such as mask wearing and compulsory self-isolation there are still a lot of Covid and flu-like infections in the community.
Fencing NZ will be undertaking a review of the Covid 19 policy under which we operate.

After discussions at the last FN committee meeting we have decided to maintain our current approach to safeguarding our community. We will still expect those who become unwell to withdraw from the competition and entry fees will be refunded. Any person becoming symptomatic at a competition may be asked by the DT to retire and leave the venue.
