Fieldays NZ Wire / Wiremark Fencing Championships
Congratulations to the 2011 Fencing Champs. A huge congrats to Paul van Beers who has won the Golden Pliers a record 13 times!
Fencing is not for the faint-hearted. To compete, you’ll need endurance and fitness, as competitions can take as long as 6 hours, with contestants attempting to complete a 40 metre fence.
Fencing has become a large part of the farming tradition, especially at Fieldays. You can be sure that at the New Zealand National Agricultural Fieldays, the latest fencing techniques are being used.
