As we approach the Championships, extensive planning is underway. Please remember that registration closes on 5th June 2024. Upon receiving your registration form, an invoice will be emailed to your national body for payment due on 15th June 2024.

Registrations

Please make sure your fencers have a valid FIE license. We cannot permit participation without a valid FIE license or receipt of entry fees. No payments will be accepted on the day of the competition.

National Anthems

While the Commonwealth Federation has a library of national anthems, we ask that you upload your national anthem to the link below. This will ensure that the correct anthem is played during the medal ceremony.

Gala

The Gala will be held on 15th July 2024, from 7:30 PM to 11:59 PM at The Double Tree by Hilton, one of our competition hotels. Tickets are NZD $80 per person (excluding drinks). No cash sales will be available at the Gala, but the restaurant accepts credit cards. The event is smart casual—New Zealanders are a relaxed bunch of people, so smart casual attire is appropriate. There will be a band playing, so bring your dance shoes! 😊 This is a great opportunity to meet people and have fun. Tickets are limited. If any of your team members decide to attend the Gala after the pre-entry form closes, please contact us at cjcfc24@gmail.com, or visit our registration desk during the competitions.
