Welcome
The South East Region of the MPAGB
provides the framework for the organisation of Modern Pentathlon around
London and the SE home counties. The Region includes London, Kent,
Sussex, Surrey and Middlesex.
Modern pentathlon consists of five
disciplines which all count towards a competitive points score to determine
placings. In addition competitions are held using only some of the disciplines
as follows:
Modern Biathlon (run and swim),
Modern triathlon (run, swim and shoot),
Modern tetrathlon (run, swim, shoot and fence) or
Modern pentathlon (run, swim,
shoot, fence and ride).
Pentathlon comprises the five sports
of running, swimming, pistol shooting, fencing (epée)and horse
riding (show jumping). For a brief description of each discipline,
click on the images at the left of this page. All the events have
variations depending on the age of the competitors. In addition
club competitions may include 'local' rules for ease of administration.
The basis of competition is that competition times and scores are converted
to points, based on published tables. Placings are established from
aggregate points for all the disciplines.
The Region has 17 member clubs. Click
on the "Clubs" link for details.
This is our first attempt at producing
a website. We hope you like it and support it by providing "copy".
We are indebted to John Woodbridge of West Midlands Region for providing
the complete website template so generously. Many thanks John.
This site is intended to be usable
by any members or supporters and your contributions are welcome. Please
