Dear Fencers
Further to our last correspondence concerning
concerning the use of Foil Mask visors we have been in contact with Leon Paul Equipment
and the Head Coach of Johannesburg HPC seeking some clarity on the FIE decision to suspend
the use of the visor at the forthcoming Italian A Grade tournament . There is a strong
feeling that this decision will be reversed once the official report on the incident that
lead to this decision is released . The situation in the UK is that visors can still be
used as long as the outer scratch proof protective layer is used . The GFA committee has
therefore decided to leave the status quo ( ie visors
can be used ) at GFA tournaments until further notice . Please note that this
only applies to GFA tournaments . SAAFA will have to take a decision in due course on the
use of visors at the National Tournaments.
