From cara at netentrust.com Wed Sep 16 08:37:06 2009 From: cara at netentrust.com (Cara O'Donnell) Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2009 08:37:06 -0600 (MDT) Subject: [Fencing] To the foil fencers Message-ID: <43541.206.127.114.149.1253111826.squirrel@mail.netentrust.com> I would suggest that all of you try ep?e before moving forward in foil. It is more difficult to switch from foil to ep?e the more advanced you get in foil, so you should at least try it so you can make an educated decision as to whether or not you want to stick with foil. If you don't think that you'll like ep?e I STILL suggest trying it. I would also like to invite the more experienced foilists to take a stab at it. Hope to see you all with an ep?e in hand soon.

If you have club equipment and haven't been to a practice in a while, or are no longer fencing, could you please return the equipment? I am at the YMCA tues-thurs from 6-8PM, but you can drop gear off at the front desk anytime the YMCA is open.

If you want to take the class, please sign up today(/tonight before fencing)! If you aren't sure whether you signed up or not, CHECK at the front desk. Right now I don't think any of the foil-ists (except for Mr. Glenn) have signed up for the class, although I thought there were at least two that wanted to take it. Make sure that you sign up on the epee sheet, not the foil sheet. Also, we are allowing people that have not taken foil to take epee, now. If you are interested, please sign up.
