Club E-News November-21-2005
[Announcement]
Due to the holiday break (starting Tuesday after your last class), there
will be no MUFG practice session on Wednesday, Nov. 23.
I hope everyone has a good couple of days off, and remember to keep open
space on your holiday wish list for lots of fencing gear!
[Club Stuff]
(practice)
There has been some requests for adding an additional practice night to
the club schedule.
Before we even begin debating details of how/when/where, how many
members would be interested in such a thing?
If there are enough requests, we can pursue this in the very near
future!
(equipment)
If anyone is planning on acquiring equipment over the holidays, and
you'd like any advice/suggestions, please ask!
The nearest "brick-n-mortar" storefront is at Baltimore Fencing Center,
but the store has some funny hours. We may be able to organize a road
trip if there is significant demand. Also, Jeanne does get a discount
from Blade fencing, you can check out their selection on the web and
then order through Jeanne. Many equipment vendors websites are linked
to http://marauder.millersville.edu/~fencing/
As more members gear up, mini-clinics will be held on proper care and
maintenance & repair (aka: armory parties:) .
(fund-raising)
As the holidays approach, remind your fellow students of our club.
Year-round recruitment & advertising will help the club continue to grow
and prosper.
Also, recruiting paid memberships earns headhunter fees for members in
good standing!
Keep your eyes and ears open for fund-raising opportunities for Spring
2006.
We're also still looking for ideas for a new club logo. Logos will be
turned into patches, t-shirts and possibly printed onto warm-up suits
(if we get that far!) Email your ideas to fencing@millersville.edu and
when we have a bunch of submissions, they will be posted to the website.
