The
Invicta Open |
|
|
|
The Invicta is now in its 29th year, having developed
from a small provincial competition to a truly international event,
last year drawing 38 overseas entries from The Netherlands, Belgium,
France and others. It has earned an enviable reputation as a hard-fought
but friendly competition with an excellent atmosphere, welcoming
everybody from near beginners to regular open finalists. We are
delighted to be back in the excellent facilities of UKC, where we’re
using both halls to ensure ample room and smooth running of the
competition.
Leon Paul will supply an equipment stall, the scoring equipment
and also provide on-line entry facilities on their Web site if required.
Food, drink and armoury facilities will be available.
A celebration meal with Tenterden club members will be held in Canterbury
on the Saturday evening for fencers travelling from overseas. Please
let us know if you might be interested in attending.

We are in the modern Sports Hall of the University of
Kent at Canterbury, Canterbury, Kent, CT2 7NZ. Canterbury is a medieval
town famous for its cathedral, cosmopolitan atmosphere and streets
packed with small shops, bookshops, larger chain stores and over 80
restaurants and pubs. The city also includes the Marlowe Theatre,
museums, libraries, art galleries and a cinema, nightclubs, swimming
pools as well as being set in beautiful Kent countryside. It is easily
accessible by Road and Rail, and is a straightforward journey from
the Channel Tunnel or Kent Ports.
