Fencing.Net - Your Guide to Fencing & Fencing Equipment

It could be interesting as the Cadet and Juniors Worlds are in Belfast in April -- part of an EU country and part of the UK. So, it has been defined as unsafe equipment in that region.

Wuxi/Jiang is the official supplier to the Chinese national team. Whose ruling takes priority -- FIE homologation or Trade Practices?

Yeah, it sort of leaves us all in limbo. I would think many armourers will advise the owner of the gear that it may not be 800NW, but until the FIE prohibits them... I would think it's business as usual. They can't deny someone access to a tournament because it is currently still considered FIE. Since there's no on-site testing, all the armourer can do is hassle the fencer a little.

Thanks. I think they are good questions about recalled safety equipment, but no answers at all. Perhaps I should walk around the block and chat to the pres of our federation.

I seem to run that fine line don't I at times... should you rep me or report me? LOL... that video was funny however.

Happy New Year to you and yours.

Some nice champagne has been consumed and the fireworks were fine.

Happy New Years!

At least we can choose to drive to the snow, it does not visit us uninvited.

We'll talk again in 6 months...

I'll keep my beach.

As a comparison, I posted pictures in my profile of my BBQ & backyard view 3 days after Christmas.
