If you have RSVP’d but can’t make it in, please let us know at FencingClubAsheville@gmail.com so I can accommodate those on the wait list.

If you’re a fencer with previous experience or an ACS student, please reach out by email or phone and we’ll work something out.

There will be no practice Wed November 27th.  Practice will resume on 12/4.

Enjoy your holiday!

We will have open fencing this week, August 21st, from 7:30 until 9 or 9:30.

Come fence a few bouts and sweat a little bit to get ready for regular practices that will resume next week, 8/28 for returning students.

Fencing will resume on August 28th for all previous students who were practicing at any time in the 2018-2019 season.   If you fenced last year, you’ll be a member of the intermediate class (also 7pm-8pm) and/or be welcome to attend Open fencing (8pm-10pm) as you prefer.   Please talk to Bren if you have questions about what group is best for you.  Returning members must renew their USA Fencing membership at (at least) the $10 non-competitive level.

For New Beginners, the beginner class will start on September 4th.  Please RSVP by emailing fencingclubasheville@gmail.com.   (If we already emailed, no need to do it again.)  The first class is a free trial to see if the sport is right for you.   More details here: https://fencingclubasheville.com/beginner-classes/

After this session of the beginner class, the next chance for new beginners to start will be January 8th 2020.

So we have decided to resume practices as soon as Asheville Catholic finishes their construction project.   We do not have a firm deadline for when this is, they’re done when they’re done.

Please watch this space for updates.  We will definitely be back by August or September at the latest.

Please stay active and enjoy the summer!

Next Wed, May 29th we will start beginner classes at 7:15 and go until 8:15.  The school will have an awards ceremony that ends around 7pm.

June 5th, we will be NOT have practice due to school graduation.

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!

 

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 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.
