Tonight, 4/10/2019 we are fencing.
Next week, 4/17/2019 the school and fencing club will be closed for spring break.
Class will resume the week after on 4/24. Have fun on break and be safe!
Last chance for Beginners to start until September is this Wed, 3/27
Our next group of beginners will start this week on Wed 3/27 from 7:00-8:15pm.
We are looking pretty tight on space so please email me at FencingClubAsheville@gmail.com if you haven’t already reserved your spot. At this point, we’re as full as we can get safely. If you haven’t reached out to us today, you’ll have to wait until September to start.
After this week our next chance for beginners to start will be in September (although fencers with previous experience are always welcome).
Practice tonight
Practice will be held tonight, 1/23. School is open and the roads seem okay locally. Please use caution and drive safe as always, especially if the temps dip back below freezing.
Classes Resume and New Beginners start today
REMINDER: Practice will resume today for all fencers, including our intermediate group and our September beginners moving into that group. New Beginners will also have their first class today. All classes will start at 7pm in North Asheville.
End of Fall Beginner Session
Tomorrow will be the last class of our fall session. All fencers from the fall session will be able to continue to Winter session as part of the intermediate group.
At practice we’ll have a brief discussion of what happens after a cycle of beginner classes. The full scoop will be at the link below. Please feel free to ask Bren any questions at the end of practice.

No Practice Wed 11/21
Due to the Thanksgiving Holiday, our location will be closed and therefore we will not hold practice this Wed. 11/21. I’m Sorry we didn’t make an announcement earlier.
Enjoy the holiday!

Club T-Shirts are coming soon. The cost will be $20. If you’re interested please send the size you want (sizes are adult unisex S to 2XL) to us by email at FencingClubAsheville@gmail.com
Optional Practice on 10/31
Our next practice after tonight, falls on Halloween, 10/31. Since many fencers have holiday events we are expecting very light attendance. Beginners won’t miss anything in the normal class sequence if they choose not to attend that practice.
Bren will be around to give lessons at 7pm and Open fencing will happen as usual at 8pm, but we may close up early if attendance is spotty. If you’re planning to come, please be on time so we don’t miss you if we close early.
If you’re planning to attend holiday events instead, Have fun and be safe! Normal scheduled classes and practice will resume the first Wed in November, so get ready to sweat off those treats!
