Quick reminders - 7 Sep 11

Equipment orders are due tonight. If you can't bring it out to IWFC tonight, you can turn it in via email.

New classes start this week at IWFC. Epee and beginner foil classes start this week. If you missed the first session but still want to take the class, just let me know.

A new fencing class started this week at the Peninsula YMCA in Newport News. I know the Y (along with many of you) was without power for a while after Irene, plus the Y had some trouble with the registration system, so if you weren't able to sign up your young fencer-to-be, you should be able to do so now. New fencers will be accepted for another week or so, just contact the Y and you're good to go!

Poquoson's fencing classes should be announced by Poquoson Parks and Rec any minute now. Stay tuned....
