Schedule notes:
- Poquoson: Due to work being done at the school plus the usual holiday stuff, Poquoson will not be meeting again until January 15. The last two beginner class sessions will be held January 15 and 22. But you don't have to go that whole time without any fencing! Remember, your monthly dues entitle you to attend the practices in Carrollton, too. If you're interested in ride-sharing (either driving or riding), let me know.
- IWFC part I: There will be no lessons or open fencing this Friday, December 9, through Monday, December 12. The regular schedule resumes Tuesday.
- IWFC part II: There will also be no lessons or open fencing Saturday, December 24, through Sunday, January 1.
Tournament notes:
- The Nightmare Before Christmas Open/Youth tournament is December 17 and 18 in Charlottesville and it's looking pretty good with 30 people signed up for saber and 53 each for foil and epee! In addition to the fencers who have pre-registered, some of you have told me you're thinking about going but haven't registered yet. If you are definitely going, let me know and I'll see you there!
- The Hangover Classic is January 7 and 8 in Richmond. This is a strong annual event and it's in a great venue (same place as last year). Absolute Fencing Gear will be there as well, making it a fantastic event both to compete in and to watch. Attention women fencers: You have the option of fencing in women's only events for all three weapons as well as in the mixed events!
