Based  on further advice received after the Board’s notice yesterday, British Fencing has suspended the use of this protective  equipment whilst further enquiries are made, by the British Fencing  Safety Committee, as to its fitness for purpose.

The Southern Region has a Duty of Care towards our fencers and safety is paramount and our first concern. Therefore it has been decided to suspended the use of plastrons, jackets and breeches from Sword Price Fighters with immediate effect at Southern Region competitions, until a decision is made to either continue or remove the suspension.
