Now that these rules have been developed, BF intends to support the domestic development of Blind and VI fencing here in the UK. If you are, or know, a fencer with severe Visual Impairment (equal to B1 and B2 Paralympic Classification requirements), please pass this information on to them and get them in touch with our Inclusion Manager (Disability) via rick.rodgers@britishfencing.com.
