Details and information
Equipment. Thanks to the continuing generosity of Leon Paul Equipment, the Organisers will be able
to facilitate extensive Electric fencing in Foil, Epee and Sabre. The centre pistes will be run, as usual, to ensure continuous fencing for
the full 24-Hour period.
Special Contests. Special additional contests will be arranged by the Organisers but participants will be
free to stage ad hoc events throughout the Marathon. To indulge this President, participants are requested that all fights, other than "ad
hocs", be conducted for six minutes duration.
Marshals. All fencing will be under the supervision of Marshals and participants are requested to comply
with their directions and advice at all times.
Spnsoship & Monies. Participants are exhorted to raise sponsorship monies for the chosen cause and to
inform the Organisers of estimated donations pledged before the end of the Marathon.
Special Sponsorship Forms. Sponsorship forms are available to download from this site or from the Organisers
direct. All forms should be returned directly to Joe Gibbons at the address shown below with monies collected.
For address details 
Monies Received. All monies received by me will be paid into a Halifax Building Society Account designated
"London Fencing Marathon Fund" which may be freely inspected.
A small amount of funds collected will be applied to cover essential running costs, (postage, stationery, telephone calls, batteries, etc.)
This will be advised to all participants and to the chosen Causes.
Sponsorship monies collected by me will be paid over to the cause, at an appropriate ceremony, by not later than 6th July. Participants are
asked to ensure pledged donations are passed over to me in good time to complete these arrangements.
Registration. Pre-event registration is not a requirement but participants will avoid years being added
to my life if they are able to provide some indication as to what time of the day or night they are expected to attend when returning the
R.S.V.P. form.
From the 15th March you will be able to register on-line.
Car parking. Car parking facilities are available and all participants are expected to observe common courtesies
especially during the sane person's normal sleeping hours between 11pm and 7am.
Refreshments. Modest refreshments will be available throughout the 24-Hour period but participants are encouraged
to make provision for their own needs.
Changing/shower facilities. The College Sports Hall has the limited facilities typical of a working school.
The Target. The unstinting generosity of participants and donors supporting our previous seven Marathons
has resulted in some £25,000 being raised for truly worthy causes and we are confident that we can achieve a worthwhile result from
the Seventh.
In asking fencers and donors to support this Marathon, and these worthy Causes, I can but appeal to everyone to help make this event a huge
fund-raising success as well as the enjoyable and memorable fencing experience which I know it will prove to be. |
