Hey Poquoson fencers! Remember, there's no fencing this Sunday, June 10. But we'll be back to the regular schedule the following Sunday.
At a loss for weekend plans? This is the last weekend of the Virginia Renaissance Faire so come on out to the Lake Anna Winery, just west of Fredericksburg (take exit 118 off of I-95 and follow the signs). A huge 'Thank you!' to everyone who has come out and played with us so far this season. I hope to see a lot of familiar faces again this weekend!
Feel like a little competition? The CFA Summer Sizzler is this weekend in Charlottesville. They're offering C and under events in all three weapons plus an additional E and under foil event. And they give out pointy objects as prizes! Click on the above link to register.
What to do after this weekend? If you've just completed the Poquoson beginner fencing class, come practice those new skills at the club practices held on Sundays from 6:00 to 8:00. (No fencing this Sunday, see above.) The more you use those talents, the more fun you'll have! Did you miss some of the final classes? Not a problem, we'll get you caught up at practice.
Want to learn how to become a fencer yourself? The next Poquoson beginner class starts Sunday, June 17. Classes are from 5:00 to 6:00 and will run through August 26. (Note, the first class is from 4:00 to 6:00 and there is no class on July 1.) Visit Poquoson Parks and Rec's website for more details, including registration information. And although they only have the class listed in the youth section, it IS open to adults as well!
Have you taken the beginner class and are ready to learn more? The next Poquoson intermediate class starts Sunday June 17. Classes are from 6:00 to 7:00 and run through August 12 (no class on July 1). Contact Poquoson Parks and Rec to register. (Big, important note: In addition to completing the beginner class, fencers should have attended at least four club sessions before registering for the intermediate class!)
If those class dates and times don't fly for you, no worries. The next IWFC beginner class starts Monday, June 18. IWFC classes are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evenings from 6:00 to 7:00 with the last one on July 13. (No classes July 4 or 6.) The class fee is $60 and equipment can be either rented or purchased.
