Hello September!

It’s time for a return to fencing, and here is all your fencing news for the month:

Renew your membership

It is time to renew your membership. All members, even returning members, please fill out a membership form found here: https://capcityfencers.wordpress.com/club-documents/ and send it back to this email address BEFORE SEPTEMBER 12.

We are also working on some exciting options for weekend workshops starting in October!

Tell all your friends! Our next beginner class will start WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 28. It will run Wednesday nights and costs $60 and includes all equipment. Know someone who would like to register? Ask them to email us to register and get more information. (There are currently six more spots available).

Club COVID protocol — have your say

Provincial COVID protocols have changed. The club will continue to follow public health mandates and recommendations at a minimum. Before dropping our vaccine requirement, the board wanted to know what members think. Over the past two years we have heard from many members with different needs and family situations, and we want the club to be a safe and welcoming place for everyone to participate. Please take our quick survey to let us know your COVID priorities: https://capcityfencers.wordpress.com/covid-what-next/

Safe Sport: Universal Code of Conduct

At our last board meeting, Capital City Fencers Club has adopted BC’s Universal Code of Conduct (as part of ViaSport’s Safe Sport protocol).

The Code of Conduct is found here: https://www.viasport.ca/sites/default/files/BC_UCC_2021.pdf

We will be asking all our members to affirm commitment to these principles with submission of the membership form each September.

See you all in a couple weeks! πŸ™‚
