Dear fencer, parent, coach                                                                                                Thursday, 11 October 2007

 

This letter contains the latest details for Gödöllő 20-21 October. Please read it carefully. Please also keep an eye on www.fencingforum.com, that’s where I will announce any changes to this information document. You should log in & subscribe to the Godollo thread, same for Kenten if you are fencing there. If you don’t know how to do this ASK. Please, as usual, print out a copy of this information document just before you leave & bring it with you.

 

We will be travelling out on Friday 19th October from Gatwick North terminal leaving at 09:30, flight number MA613. Meet at the Malev check-in desks at 07:00.  Please do not be late.

 

We will be returning on Monday 22nd October arriving at 08:50, flight number MA612 (flight leaves Budapest 07:20). Please make sure you are being met or you have arranged your transport home. When you do leave at the airport please make sure you tell me you are leaving or have been collected.

 

We will be staying & eating at accommodation organised by the Hungarians in the University (the venue is at the university). For those travelling independently we will be at the sports hall on Friday evening, after that we will be at the accommodation, please plan where & when you will meet up with the main group.

 

I have produced a room list for the accommodation, let me know if any of you want to change it. Female official is Mary Scott, her mobile number should you need it is 07709 278005.

 

Those of you who have been before will remember you have to carry all your kit quite a long way over the course of the weekend, don’t bring anything you don’t need; a bag with wheels would help you (try & borrow one if you haven’t got one already).

 

The address of the venue is:-

St Stephen University, Pater Karoly street 1, Godollo H-2103.

 

You will need to bring:

 

·          Your passport

·          Your British Fencing (or equivalent) licence

·          Money (you will not need to pay for evening meals or lunches)

·          An EHIC card (apply at www.ehic.org.uk or call 0845 606 2030)

·          If you take any medication on the WADA list of banned substances (asthma inhalers are the most common full details at www.didglobal.com) you will need to have a TUE certificate before you travel to this event. Please see the details at: http://www.britishfencing.com/Guide%20to%20TUEs%203.10.05.doc Please make sure you have read the relevant information at www.100percentme.co.uk.

·          Your fencing kit (you will need FIE kit: 800N jacket, breeches, & plastron, 1600N mask, & S2000 blades. You should ideally have 3 sabres & 3 body wires. Your lame jacket, mask, overlay & body wires must be in good condition to pass the equipment control.) Talk to your coach if this is a problem.

 

Those of you who have been before will remember the usual chaos of the weapon control; to keep this to a minimum make sure your body wires are in good condition & all your kit is clearly labelled. Last year several fencers (again) forgot this instruction & some lost kit as a result.

 

The timetable will be: Friday evening – weapon control, Saturday - men’s individual & women’s team, Sunday - women’s individual & men’s team. The team events will involve everyone.

 

If you’re not staying with the main group you need to know the check-in times:-

 

Saturday 20th October         Men’s sabre individual       09:00

                                                Women’s sabre team        13:00

 

Sunday 21st October           Women’s sabre individual                08:00

                                                Men’s sabre team                               09:00

 

Actual start times are I hour after check-in time.

 

Please remember you have signed a code of conduct governing your behaviour over the whole weekend. Please reread it if you have forgotten what you have signed. If you have lost it please let me know & I’ll let you have another one.

 

The official coaches are there for your benefit, please don’t be afraid to ask for help, warm-up lessons, advice, etc at any time during the weekend.

Contact me (preferably by email) if you have any questions.     Neil Brown
