Bobby Robinson, Coach of Mechanicsville Fencing Academy, has invited our foil and saber fencers to an informal tournament at their club on Saturday, April 2nd at 9:30am. If you would like to go, let me or coach Scott know as soon as possible so we can give Coach Bobby a headcount. Here is the address: Sportsplex
              8175 Mechanicsville Turnpike
              Mechanicsville, VA

We are back on schedule for Thursday, they have everything fixed. No one was injured, they were fixing the bank of lights and it caught on fire, they had no way to put it out because the ceiling is too high in the gym.

CLUB IS CANCELLED TONIGHT.  Monday, March 14th. They had a fire in the gym and we cannot get in there. We should be okay for Thursday, but I will post as soon as we hear anything.

Sorry this is so late, I did not notice that they moved up the Conomikes-Gutenberg Memorial Open! It is March 26th  and 27th at the William & Mary Student Recreation Center. They have mixed epee, foil, and saber. Conomikes-Gutenberg Memorial Open
