New Parries, and Much News
mmorris2 on Oct 2nd 2008
Today, you get abbreviated recounts of practice on Tuesday, September 30, which consist of four new parries, and news!
Fencers learned/relearned Parries 1, 2, 7, and 8; flanconade.
The club’s first Movie Night is this Friday at 7:45 PM, where we will have our annual showing of The Princess Bride! There will be much recitation of movie lines, and/or throwing things at the reciters of said movie lines, depending on how many have not yet seen the movie.
MD Ren Fest Trip is coming up on Saturday, October 18. Those interested in going with either Fencing or Renaissance Club need to let one and only one of those clubs know so that you may be added to a list. We want to avoid having people sign up on both lists, making us think we have more people who need rides than there actually are. Also, if you have a vehicle available to you, please email the club you are signing up with telling them your name, email, phone number, and make, model, and color of your car, as well as how many people you are able to take. Admission to the Festival with a group as large as ours is $13, which means you save $5 off the normal admission price, which is just like getting paid to hang out with the coolest people ever.
Information has also arrived on our first intercollegiate club tournament: Chaos. Chaos tournament takes place near UMD on Sunday, October 26. Fencers of all three weapons may attend, but must choose only one weapon with which to compete. Participation is $10. USFA rules will be enforced, which means proper protective gear must be worn (yes, this includes knickers and long socks if your knickers are only knee length). You may find the USFA rules here. Be prepared for a PDF document.
Lastly, this is the final call for those interested in the Coaching Workshop at Salle Green on October 11 (the Saturday of Fall Break). There is one more spot available if someone would like to attend. Note that this is for fencers with one or more years of fencing experience, not necessarily with the club. More information is available here. Please be sure to register on FRED and add yourself to the Preregistration list once you have notified the club.
