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.
