The videos from the Halloween Open are up! I wasn't able to take video of any of our foilists (coaching comes first!) but I did get most of the final and semi-final matches in all three weapons. If you have video or pictures of the tournament you'd like to share, feel free to upload them to either club's Facebook page or send them to me and I'll post them for you. Up next, videos from last weekend's Thanksgiving Throwdown in Richmond...
The December equipment order goes in on Wednesday, December 7. Looking for gift ideas for your fencer? One of the many great things about fencers is that we're easy to shop for! More fencing stuff is almost always a good thing! If you need gift suggestions for your fencer, let me know and I'll toss some ideas your way. And fencers, you can visit Absolute's website and oh-so-casually print out things you want and leave them carefully scattered around the house -- or better yet, hand them to someone when they ask you what you want!
Club swag is also a great gift and you can get that from me at any practice session. There are club socks (black with IWFC or PFC down the sides in gray), tees, water bottles, patches, keychains -- all sorts of stuff! Supplies are limited on the tees so don't wait too long! And don't worry about your fencer finding out, I can help you sneak things around them.
Want 'fencing in general' stuff? Visit the Pointed Comments online store for all sorts of fencing-themed shirts, mugs, decals, etc. CafePress is running all sorts of discounts and sales from now through the end of the year so this is a great time to grab stuff! (Note: You can use this link to see items in an easy-to-view format but use the first link to actually purchase items in order to get the best price. Although they're the same items, CafePress only does the code-free discounted prices if you visit the store via the first link. Don't ask me why, I don't know either!)
