Hi Everyone who attended our beginner class on Sept 7th. If you’re planning to come back next week and keep fencing with us, please complete a $10 NON-COMPETETIVE USA Fencing Membership at this link: http://www.usfencing.org/…/show/698114-individual-membership

Please note that ALL experienced fencers must have also completed a non-competitive (or higher) membership for 2016-2017  to be in good standing with the club.

This is the first Wed in September and the next chance for beginners to start Fencing at Fencing Club AVL.

Next chance will be November 2nd.

UPDATE:  Attention NEW Fencers starting Sept 7th. The link below contains the Trial membership form for USA Fencing. Please help us out by bringing a completed copy of form and bring to the first class on the 7th. (If you forget we’ll have paper copies, but it’s going to be a big group and it’ll be nice to spend less time on paperwork)  PDF version of 2016-2017 Trial Membership Form

Practice is confirmed for 8/3/2016 and we definitely will have access to the Asheville Catholic School Gym this week.

Also, it’s August and that means it’s time to renew your USA fencing membership.   A non-competitive membership is required for Fencing Club Asheville members because it covers our insurance.  You can sign up here

If you bring the membership card from USA fencing or print the online receipt you get when you signup you’ll get $10 off (the cost of the membership) for this month’s dues.   If you can’t print it out, just forward it (make sure no Credit Card info appears) to FencingClubAsheville@gmail.com and you’ll still get the dues reduction.

In September, Bren will be checking to make sure everyone has at least a non-competitive membership with USA fencing.

 

 

The Water is fixed at Asheville Catholic School and we are going to have practice tomorrow 6/29 at 7pm at ACS.

Our Summer Schedule until August 24th or so will be Wednesday night practice and open fencing from 7pm to 9:30pm.   There will be no Open Fencing Monday nights at least until the fall, (if basketball season permits it to resume)

Asheville Cathoic is closed due to a water main break this week.

No Practice on Wed 6/22.  We expect the water to be restored on or around This Friday, so we have to cancel practice this week again.

We feel it’s very likely we’ll be back to our regular scheduled practice time (every Wed) by 6/29, Next wed.  So We’ll see everyone then!

 

But we’re back to normal Wed practice the following week.

NEXT WEEK, 5/11, PRACTICE IS CANCELLED due to an event at our location.   Next practice (after tonight) will be 5/18.

Please also note that tonight 5/4/2016 we’re starting our next beginner class.   This will be the last opportunity for beginners to start this spring.

Please note that practices will NOT be held next week, 3/28 and 3/30 ( due to spring break at ACS, our location is closed) Happy Easter!

Tomorrow night, Wednesday March 2nd, is our next beginner class.   After that, the next chance for beginners to start will be Wednesday May 4th.   We altering our schedule so that beginner classes will be the first Wed of every other month (i.e. odd numbered month) due to popular demand and our desire to give every new beginner a more coherent 8 week experience.

So I’ll see you beginners tomorrow… or May The Forth Be With You!

Tomorrow night, Wednesday February 3rd, is our next beginner class.   After that, the next chance for beginners to start will be March 2nd.
