Hi everyone,
There will be NO FENCING next week - Monday, January 24 and Thursday, January 27, 2011 - fencing is CANCELLED. There are no rooms available in the SUB for us to book...so we can't really do any fencing! We apologize for the inconvenience. Looks like there is going to be a bunch of events including a career fair expo happening next week, hence why all the rooms have been booked.

Armoury day - Monday, January 17, 2011
Hi everyone,
Our club armourer, Seino, is doing another Armoury Day on Monday, January 17, 2011, upstairs in the SUB at 7:00 pm. We'll be at the couches near room 214/216 fixing electric equipment.
If you have any broken electric weapons or if you don't know what's wrong with them, bring your weapons and he'll have a look at it to see what's wrong.
If you are competing in the upcoming CSCs on January 28-30, you should come to Armoury Day to make sure all of your electric equipment is working.
If you would like to come, please RSVP by emailing us. See you there!

Fencing unfortunately cancelled this week
Hi everyone,
Fencing will have to be cancelled for this week. We apologize to those who actually came to today's fencing practice (in the pouring rain) to find out that the SUB was closed/locked! We had no idea the building would be closed today. All of the SUB doors appear to be locked. The AMS let us book a room for today starting at 7:00 pm in the SUB...but failed to inform us that the building would be closed/locked. Not sure why they let us book a room in the first place, considering the building is locked and that no one was able to get into the SUB...
Anyway, we would like to apologize for the inconvenience. :(
Because we don't want the same situation to happen again, we will have to cancel Thursday's fencing practice. I have no way of knowing if the SUB will be closed again on Thursday. So...to play it safe, there will be no fencing for the remainder of December.
We will see you all in January. The term 2 schedule has been posted up on our website: http://ubcfencing.blogspot.com/2010/12/2010-2011-term-2-schedule.html
The first class for term 2 will start on Thursday, January 6.
Anyway, we hope you enjoy the rest of your winter break and have a happy new year. Again, we apologize for the confusion and inconvenience.
