Event description


Registration for the second leg of Wessex League 2022, hosted by Southhampton Historical Fencing Club to be held in Hamble (close to Southampton) on October 15th/16th 2022

Please note: The socials are in Southampton but the tournament venue in Hamble, which is about 20 minutes drive away and some public transport options. As there is limited accommodation in Hamble itself, we would recommend staying in Southampton and arranging travel to the sports hall. 

To attend as a competitor, you must select "Tournament Entry" in the Main Ticket options

This event cannot run without the hard work of our volunteers, so if you wish to volunteer your time - either for the whole event or for the parts where you aren't competing - so please also indicate (in the booking questions at the end) if you are willing to volunteer.
