**Our instructor will not be teaching on Saturdays. There will be no lessons taught on Saturdays so do not expect to receive any fencing instruction. We have extra space available for those (preferably those who have their own fencing uniform) who wish to drop by to fence or train more (either recreationally/for fun, or competitively). You are welcome to drop by anytime during team practice since there is no requirement for you to show up at all. If you do not have your own equipment, that is fine, you are still welcome to drop by, but our electric club equipment may be limited. Anyone with their own electric gear is welcome to drop by. We also welcome those who wish to train competitively.
