Hunger Games Catching Fire Movie Social

Hey fencers!

How are all of you? I'm sure the exam stress has gotten pretty intense for some of us already, while those of you who do not attend school are free from such troubles (lucky!). But worry not, this is a reminder for a de-stress-a-thon of good flicks and food. 

The aforementioned will be the last social of the year. We will be watching the Hunger Games Catching Fire at Scotiabank theatres this upcoming Sunday the 1st, followed by dinner at Guu Gardens.

Movie-goers: we will be watching the 4:50pm show so let's meet at 4:10 at the base of the escalators. This will allow ample time for ticket purchases and good-seat-snatching!
Dinner-ers: I will have a reservation under the name June at Guu for 7:30. We can meet you there!

As always, please RSVP on Facebook. This will allow me to make a reservation for the restaurant.

If you have any questions, you can contact me at 604-723-0621.

See you all there!

Hey y'all,

I'm sorry for the late email:(( but TGIF: Thanks Givings It's FRIDAY!!!!!!!!

WHERE: Commodore Lanes (838 Granville street)

Concerning expenses, if everyone could bring $8 in cash to me I will pay for the game. This will cover the shoes and the approximate 2 hours we will be playing.

Cheers everyone,

June

Welcome New Fencers!

Hello Fencers and Potential Fencers-to-Be! 

Don't forget that your first lesson is free, so that you can try out fencing to see for yourself if this sport suits you.  All levels and degrees of experience are welcome!!  We have practices both Mondays and Thursdays upstairs in the Student Union Building.  All you need to do is show up, wearing comfortable clothes (sweat pants or leggings and a t-shirt).

If you gave us your email during Club's Days, but did not hear from us we apologize, as it is likely a failure of our hand-writing deciphering abilities!  Do not let this deter you from coming to learn to fence!

Paintball Social

Hi all!

I hope everyone had a blast at the Lazar tournament, the facebook photos sure say you have~

As you might have noticed, this term is nearing its end (only 15 more days of classes!) and I believe this calls for a paintball battle!!!!

I have 11 tickets left (first come first serve) that are valid for a full day of paintball. They are $10 each, and the only thing it doesn't cover is ammo; $10/100 balls upon booking, and $10-$15/100 for any ammo needed afterwards. And from what I've heard, people don't usually use up to 100 "bullets" anyway so $20 is usually enough.

The social will be on the long weekend Saturday (March 30th) and will be a whole day event! And of course dinner will be held afterwards at some delicious restaurant with delicious food which will be deliciously announced soon. If you guys have any suggestions about good Richmond eats around the area, lemon know on facebook! (because Richmond is Narnia to me...)

More details to come, as always.

Peace out,

June

Blades of Glory


Hello!


If you haven't seen Blades of Glory, please do so before the skating social or all meaning behind this fantastic sport will be utterly lost.

Speaking of which, the first social of the year will be on ice! Next Saturday (the 26th) at 4:30 we will be meeting at the skating rink at Robson Square to pull off rad camel spins and quads (just kidding, my ass is going to break). Afterwards, we will be heading to Thierry for the Hot Chocolate Festival! Followed by dinner at Kamei Royale at 7:30.

Skate rentals are 4 dollars and there is no entrance fee so bring your own and pay nothing!

If you are only coming for dinner, but would like to join us for the chocolate festival, meet us at Thierry around 6:30 - 6:45. When in doubt just text me at 604-723-0621 depending how frostbitten we will be the time may vary.

Also, Kamei is partaking in the Dine Out Festival which is a 4 course meal for $28 if you are interested.

RSVP: as per us' on facebook please.


Cheers!
