NVA National Championships 2008

Men's Foil final, Graham Paul and Jim Philbin on the newly installed gala finals piste. Graham took the gold medal and Jim the silver

Why do people join the NVA? Everyone remarks on the spirit and the atmosphere at the competitions. This comes from our having a common love of fencing and interest in the skill of the sport. Vets have usually given up the regular competitive circuit but the fencing brain is still there as sharp as ever
