The Competition will be held at the Clywedog Sports Centre, Wrexham, North Wales on Saturday 26th and Sunday 27thJuly 2008. Accommodation is at the Ramada Plaza, Wrexham.
Open Individual Event
The competition is run as an Open Individual Competition, (licensed Veteran fencers with Celtic eligibility) with one 1 round of poules followed by DE, or as a poule unique, depending on the numbers in each discipline. All six weapons are to be fenced, with medals for first, second and double thirds.
Team Event
As time will be at a premium, the team events will be decided as follows: at the START of each discipline, the Manager/ Captain of each team will designate his named team of three in writing. If a Country / Province cannot field three fencers, they will not be in the calculation below, but if all captains/managers agree, mixed country/province teams may be allowed. At the end of the discipline to calculate the team results, the position of the named fencers to be added together, and the team with the lowest number will win the gold medals and so on to find silver and bronze.
There will also be a trophy for the overall Country/Province winners of the Individual and Team competitions.
