The Cadet and Under-15s National Championships will be hosted in Western Australia in 2011, from 9–13 July. Given the distance and cost involved in attending this competition, Fencing Victoria has consulted transport and accommodation providers to source the best package for interested athletes, parents and coaches. While it will be more expensive to attend the tournament in 2011 than it was in 2010, we hope that with early planning a full team from Victoria may be sent.
Flight and Accommodation Package
After extensive negotiations with service providers Fencing Victoria is pleased to confirm it will be able to offer packages for this tour, including airfares and accommodation. The accommodation package includes return flights from Melbourne to Perth (departing 8 July and returning 14 July) and 6 nights accommodation at the Sorrento Beach Quality Resort. Accommodation will be in shared self-contained apartments, sleeping four to six people (2 people per bedroom). The cost for flights and accommodation only is $900. This package is available for both athletes and athlete supporters (coaches, parents, etc.).
Event Entry Packages
Event packages are available for athletes competing. They all include Competition Entry Fee, Team Management Levy, Camp Fee and an Event T-shirt. Costs are:
- Single Event Entry: $320
- Two-event Entry: $390
- Three or more events: $450
Team Management
The team will be accompanied by Fencing Victoria Directors (and parents) Karen Duffy and Kayt Spano as Team Managers. Also accompanying the team will be a Fencing Victoria appointed Team Coach and referee. Parents and guardians are welcome to join the tour, and for those who cannot, full supervision will be available for unaccompanied athletes by Team Management.
