My apologies for the late notice on this but there will be no fencing (private lessons or practices) from Sunday, June 30, through Thursday, July 4, at either IWFC or PFC. Have a great Fourth! (Or as they call it in the UK, Thanksgiving.*)
The next beginner class at IWFC will begin Monday, July 22, and run through Monday, August 12. Sessions are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evenings from 6:00 to 7:00. Fees and equipment information is here. Just email coach@iwfc.net to register and you're good to go!
There will not be a PFC class this summer. But if you have a youngster between the ages of 8 and 14, the PPR fencing camp is a great way for them to get a taste of fencing without the commitment to a full class. Sign up with Poquoson Parks and Rec before July 31!
The next equipment order will go in Wednesday, July 14. Visit Absolute Fencing Gear, fill out the order form and turn it in to me by 10 p.m. July 14. Payment can be made when you give me the form or you can pay online here.
The Commonwealth Games are July 20-21 in Manassas. This year Olympic saberist Tim Morehouse will be one of the guests. No, he can't fence in the saber event but it'd be fun if he were there to watch!
And just for fun, an IBM commercial from the '90s featuring a couple of fencers genteelly trash-talking.
* I kid!
