As of two minutes ago, none of our fencers are signed up for this weekend's tourney in Richmond. So right now my weekend plans do not include going to Richmond. If you're planning on competing but haven't preregistered yet, let me know via email or I won't be there.
Boston.com has some great pictures from the World Championships!
Don't forget to let me know your sock and t-shirt order by Monday evening. Payment is not due until you pick up your new stuff. Get a little bit of your holiday shopping out of the way the easy way!
Speaking of easy holiday shopping, equipment orders are going in twice a month until the end of the year. The next round of orders are due to me by 10 p.m. Monday night. Need help with some ideas for your fencer? Let me know and we'll put our heads together! Or visit Absolute's website, make out your wish list, and send it along with my email address (coach@iwfc.net) to anyone who asks what you want this year! (As usual, payment is due when you place your order.)
Don't forget to register for December's beginner fencing and saber classes. The beginner class is $60 plus equipment (can be rented or purchased) and the saber class is $30 (saber equipment is provided).
And now for something completely different: the Virginia Renaissance Faire is holding new cast auditions March 5 and March 12 (Saturdays) in Fredericksburg. Details are on VARF's Facebook page or I can email them to you. It's fun! And VARF is run by an educational not-for-profit so any work you do with us, cast or otherwise, meets the criteria for volunteer work in most instances.
