Fence-A-Thon - June 4-5, 2011

Capital City Fencers' Club is hosting their annual fencing tournament, Fence-A-Thon, from June 4-5, 2011.

Fence-A-Thon is a charity event, and all money raised goes straight to the BC Cancer Foundation. Last year, the tournament raised over $3000 between about 30 participants. Fencers competing in this tournament are looking for donations (a pledge form available via email upon request, our club has a copy) which can be printed off and filled up by your fencers.

Location: St. Andrew's Regional High School, 880 McKenzie Ave (Victoria, BC)

Events:
Men's and Women's Epee
Men's and Women's Foil
Men's and Women's Sabre

Tournament starts at 7:00 pm, followed by a midnight feast and then continued fencing throughout the night until 7:00 am!

Fee: $20 per event

Note that you will need a competitive passport (e.g. CFF or equivalent fencing licence) to compete in this tournament.

Registration deadline is June 3 at midnight.

Year-end party - Saturday, April 30th!!

Hi everyone!

Based on your responses, we have set the year-end social to be on Saturday, April 30, 2011!!

The party starts at 4:00 pm but you're welcome to come later if you want. We'll be sticking around til about 8:00 pm. We're probably going to go grab food at a restaurant or bar afterward.

There will be food, games and other fun stuff! To make it easier for us, we'll do a potluck sort of social. You're welcome to bring food, snacks or drinks since it'll help us a great deal in case we didn't buy enough food! Please let us know what you'll be bringing.

Location: 610 Granville Street - it will be located in the lounge room in an apartment next to Hudson's Bay Company (a.k.a. The Bay) - Granville & West Georgia Street. You'll need to buzz in to get in the building. Please email us for the buzzer number and to RSVP.

Please RSVP us (via email) if you're coming! This will help us figure out what to bring to the party! Also, we'll contact you privately on how to get in the building.
