The next IWFC beginner class starts Monday, August 6! Classes are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evenings from 6:00 to 7:00 and the last class is on the 26th. The class fee is $60 and equipment can be either rented ($30 per month plus $10 to purchase a glove) or purchased (starting at around $110). Payments, equipment sizing, and paperwork are taken care of as part of the first class.
August equipment orders are due by 10:00 Wednesday, August 8. Visit Absolute Fencing or look through a catalog at club. Then fill out the order form and turn it in at club or email it back to me. Payment is due at the time you place your order. IMPORTANT NOTE TO FOIL COMPETITORS: Remember, effective August 1, 2012, part of the bib is now target area. Conversions are available for most masks so you do not have to buy a whole new mask (unless, of course, you want to). If you are planning on competing in both foil and epee, however, you will want to consider having one mask for each weapon or getting a mask with a changeable bib.
I hope everyone's been having fun watching the Olympics! If you haven't been able to watch events as they happen or want to watch them again, NBC has videos available here.
