No fencing on Victoria Day

The Gym is closed on Monday, May 21 for Victoria. However young epeeist Connor the Second is in the parade so look for him if you are going!

Road Trip to Provincials

Youth fencers … BC Provincials are coming up June 9 & 10 in Richmond. For adults it’s June 23-24.

The club will be sponsoring youth carpooling (cost of ferry for the car and driver) to the event, so let us know if you want to join us!

The club also supports fencers with equipment when needed. Unsure which event is best for you? Just ask! Our experienced fencers are happy to give you advice, and help with registration questions.

Leprechaun attack... a contest!

Rest up on Victoria Day because on Wednesday May 23 we will have our annual leprechaun attack contest.

There is a box of lucky charms on the line:

May or may not be magical unicorn lucky charms

Fencing continues to June 20

Capital City continues fencing until June 20, after which we take a break until September.

Want to keep fencing all summer?

Community members are welcome to join UVIC fencing club, which fences on Wednesday and Saturday evenings. The club is largely adults, but there are also some teenagers who attend. Contact fencing@uvic.ca to see if this is right for you (or ask Orion at the club). http://vikesrec.ca/sports/2016/12/6/Fencing.aspx?id=196

They are also having a summer camp  August 27-31 for 14-16 year-olds. Register at:

(Almost) Midnight Pizza Party!!!

Yes, our annual end-of-season post-practice pizza night is in the works for June! For those that are new, we go for pizza after practice at a nearby Boston Pizza, which makes for a very late night, and a lot of fun that ends close to midnight.

This is tentatively scheduled for Wednesday June 13, which avoids being too close to either of the Provincial competitions, but is also late in the school year. Complaints about the date to stacyc@islandnet.com please. 🙂
