Saturday Fencing Day of Epee Sabre and Pizza Flepaber

Hello Fencers!

Reminder to RSVP for our CCFC club fencing workshops and social fencing day (with special guests from Saanich Rec Fencing Crew) so we can plan for workshop structure and amount of pizza
We have Saturday Feb 19 booked for you from 9:30 – 4:30 in our usual practice location (Royal Oak Middle School Gym) and here is the program:

8:55 am Gate to parking opens

9:00 Gym opens / sign in and COVID Vaccine check for those who haven’t been to CCFC since September

9:20 Warm up

9:30 – 11:00 am Introduction to Epee fencing with Miko “Priority Shmiority” Ross

11:00 – 12:30 am Introduction to Sabre fencing with James “The Slasher” Taylor

(And yes, if you have fenced Epee and Sabre before you are welcome to join us and share your enthusiasm for the best fencing weapon!)

12:30 – 1:30 PIZZA LUNCH social for the club! Outside due to Gym no-food Rules, so bring a coat. I will set up my canopy and table to keep pizza table dry. Club will supply pizza, but please bring your own water, coffee, juice, sport drink etc.

Lunch and breaks will be featuring “sick beats” by our own DJ Daddy Mack (An Epeeist so you know he has rhythm). NOTE: Wham by special request only.

1:30 to 4:30 “Flepeebre” Team event IN WHICH we will create teams of three fencers–one epee, one sabre, one foil to compete against each other in a modified team event. WIN FENCING GLORY FOR YOUR TEAM!

Fencers will choose their weapon of competition, but we hope a few folks will take up the challenge and fence an unfamiliar blade! Some limitations will apply due to available gear.

If we manage to finish a bracket, we will have open fencing for the remaining time. Plus maybe some wacky fencing themed games. And oh yes, leprechaun challenge.

COVID Protocol
REMINDER that if you haven’t been to CCFC since September, you will need to bring proof of vaccination and show it to me (stacy) upon arrival.

Please bring a full water bottle

Please wear a mask when inside, and until you start fencing.

Sorry! Attendance limited to Saanich Rec and CCFC fencers.

If you have your own gear, please come dressed to fence! (Change rooms are not open, though there is a bathroom)
