February Announcements
First and foremost, we want to congratulate our youth fencers who attended HFA’s I Love Fencing tournament this past weekend. LFC sent seven fencers to a competitive event, and we are pleased to report that each and every one of them fenced their best. With three podium finishes, some big upsets in DEs, and strong comebacks from some of our newest fencers, we could not be prouder of our competitors. Congratulations to all of you!
Class Registration
There is no class this week (although open fencing is always open to all our fencers!). Classes resume February 21, and registration is open. Register here today, because spots are filling up fast!
Holiday-Anniversary Party
Can you believe we’ve been fencing in our Gateway location for a year already? Time has flown because we’re having so much fun! To celebrate, we will be hosting a combined holiday-anniversary party at LFC on Saturday, March 5, from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m. This will be a potluck dinner, and we will have games and prizes for kids and adults. We encourage every family to come, both for a great time with friends, and to hear announcements for the coming year. Bring a lawn chair and a dish to share!
Upcoming Tournaments
Looking for some competition opportunities? You can look for local tournaments on AskFred using this link. Additionally, here are a few we recommend. Please register early and let your coach know you’re interested – if we have sufficient fencers preregistered, LFC will send coaches to support the fencers. Also, the more people who register early, the better events tend to be!
