October classes at IWFC/PFC: Poquoson's next set of classes begins Sunday, October 3. Sign-up is through Poquoson Parks and Rec, not me! So if you haven't contacted them yet, be sure to do so sooner rather than later. And IWFC's next set of classes start October 4 (beginner) and October 5 (intermediate). Registration for these does go through me so shoot an email to coach@iwfc.net and you're good to go. Fees, days, times, etc. are on the info page. If you have any questions, just let me know!
Equipment order: I'm bumping this month's equipment order up one day to Tuesday, October 5, so our Poquoson fencers can (hopefully) get their new equipment on the 10th. As always, orders and payment are due to me no later than 10 p.m. and can be either turned in at a club/class session or emailed. If you're thinking about entering the Ultimate E and Under foil tournament in Hampton on October 16, this is your last chance to order something through the club and save yourself the shipping fee!
October 16 tournament: Speaking of the Ultimate E and Under, if you're planning on competing, don't forget to preregister. Yes, you can sign up at the door that morning but it will cost an extra $5. Not sure if you should enter or not? Ask! We'll talk about it!
Get your cans to fencing! Your aluminum cans, that is. I know I'm not the only one who drinks too much soda but now you can use that little habit to help the club. Bring your cans to IWFC/PFC practices or classes and that's it! (Already crushed would be great, especially for PFC, but you can also use the wall-mounted crusher at IWFC.) Whenever the bin's full, I'll trade the cans for a bit of cash at a nearby recycler, getting a little extra income for us. Oh yeah, and it helps the environment too. (Minor detail, that!)
