Katie Dolan

My role as events coordinator can be split into 3 areas. Firstly, a large part of my role involves working closely with the Competitions and Calendar committee around BF run competitions which includes all our National Championships, the Eden Cup and England Trophy international events, the Sainsbury’s UK School Games and this year of course the European Senior Fencing Championships in Sheffield. Secondly, I do a lot of work with the National Academy mainly through the Talent Development and Workforce Development streams including sending invitations and collating applications for the National Academy training sessions, helping to organise coaches conferences and the logistics of training courses. Lastly I coordinate a lot of experiential events where we give people the chance to try fencing in all sorts of different environments including the corporate setting, charity events and multi-sport days.
