Due to scheduling conflict at our location we have some changes for two weeks from now, May 31st:

Beginner class will NOT happen at 7pm. Open fencing will commence at 8:15pm. ALL beginners are invited to open fencing from 8:15-9:15 (or later) and private lessons will occur on request during open fencing.

If a beginner can’t make the 8:15 time, don’t sweat it, you won’t miss anything.  We won’t cover new material.  You’ll only get some extra practice time on the stuff from previous classes and some time to fence open bouts.

Our next Beginner class will start this week on Wed, May 3rd.

Our next beginner class will likely be the first Wed in September, unless a lot of folks ask us to run a July class.

WE’RE CLOSED WED APRIL 12th. Our location is closed for spring break next week and we will not be able to hold practice. Our Next practice (after tonight) will be held on 4/19.

 

Our next beginner class starts this Wed, March 1st.  I believe we will have room to start a few more new fencers.  Drop us an email if you haven’t already and are interested in attending.

Next chance to start fencing will be the first Wed in May, May 3rd.

 

SABRE GROUP KICKOFF NIGHT! – Wed February 1st at 8pm.  I believe we’ve got 4-5 somewhat experienced Sabre fencers coming in on this date.   If you are an experienced Sabre fencer and want to have other Sabrists to fence in WNC on Wed night, please make it to practice on Feb 1st.

If you have questions or your equipment hasn’t caught up with you yet, please give Bren a call at 301-537-0211 and we’ll try to sort everything out.

If you are a Sabre Fencer in the greater Asheville area looking for a club (including the person who dropped into practice last night) please reach out to me at FencingClubAsheville@gmail.com if you haven’t already. We have 3-4 people who could form a group of sabre fencers, but we need to get them all at the same practice to get critical mass.

We’re back today at 7pm, Get ready to fence!

Today will also be the start of our next beginner class.  After today, the next chance for beginners to start fencing with us will be Wednseday, March 1st.

The club will NOT hold practice on December 21st or 28th. Last practice of 2016 will be on 12/14. Then we’ll resume in 2017 on Wed January 4th.

No practice Wed 11/23 due to the Thanksgiving holiday. Next practice is Wed 11/30.

Attention Fencers who started in September and your parents. Next Wed, November 16th, between 8:30 and 8:45pm we will have a short discussion and Q&A about “What happens next” after our the 8 week class sequence just completed.
