Leon Paul Junior Series
The Leon Paul Junior Series consists of 30 competitions nationwide for young fencers. The Cambridge Cadets will not be organising the event in 2011 as it was decided that, due to the severe shortage of referees and the fact that the Cambridge Cadets had had a good run, 2010 would be our last.
