Story of the Dundee Open

Background

After the successful running of a small Foil 48er, two former Wallace Fencing Academy students, James Ferguson & Calum Mcghee decided to start the Dundee Open in the hope of bringing back larger-scale competition to the city. The plan is to host a three-weapon unraked open in mid–December with the invaluable support of the team behind the Glasgow Open and bring in as many fencers from around the country as possible.

Prizes

This competition comes with a unique prize for the top fencer in each category, along with medals for the top four, each overall victor will receive a custom-built Chronograph Watch built to be a robust partner to any fencer and will be engraved with the competition, year and category. Master at Arms trophies for best overall Man and Woman as well as a Club shield for best overall team will also be awarded.

Dundee

 Dundee’s fencing scene has been almost non-existent since COVID, all independent clubs have shut down and only the University Club remains. Through the hard work of the student body, the Epee competition Dee-Fence has been started and is steadily growing. We hope that the Dundee Open can build on this momentum and grow interest in the sport again in the local area but also in Scotland as a whole.

Legacy

Our goals for this competition are bringing together fencers from across the country, promoting fencing in Dundee & helping to re-establish competitive spirit in the city. It is vitally important for this competition to continue, so as soon as the doors close on the 14th, we will be working hard on the next one, with our close relationship with the university club, we hope this can be a community-supported event for many years to come.
