Welcome to Fencing Mid South, the beating heart of fencing in the northern region of New Zealand's South Island. We are the regional governing body overseeing the sport of fencing within its geographical remit from the area north of the Waitaki River in the South Island of New Zealand. Officially known as the Canterbury Provincial Amateur Fencing Council Incorporated, we go by the moniker Fencing Mid South, or simply FMS. You'll find our name registered on the Incorporated Societies Register, a testament to our commitment to transparency and accountability.
As the regional governing body, we take pride in organizing thrilling competitions, fostering camaraderie among our member clubs, and championing the art of fencing throughout our community. From electrifying regional showdowns to prestigious national events, we're dedicated to promoting the sport at every level.
While we operate under the banner of Fencing New Zealand, our autonomy allows us to tailor our efforts to the unique needs of our region. Our regional President sits on the national Board, ensuring our voices are heard on the New Zealand Fencing board level. Collaboration is key, and we work closely with our counterparts in the South, Central, and North regions to advance the sport across the nation. Together, we form a formidable network, united in our passion for fencing excellence.
At the core of our organization is a committee comprising three officers, representatives from each of our esteemed member clubs, and advisors who lend their expertise to our cause. Together, we steer the course of Fencing Mid South with passion, integrity, and a relentless pursuit of excellence.
Join us as we thrust, parry, and lunge our way to glory, forging bonds that transcend the boundaries of sport. Whether you're a seasoned competitor or a curious beginner, there's a place for you in the vibrant tapestry of fencing Mid South. En garde!
