Remember, tonight, Monday, Sept. 23, we fence in our new space: Boys & Girls Club Yorktown; 11201 George Washington Memorial Hwy Yorktown, VA 23690 (map).

A few things we need to mention:

1. Due to our insurance requirements, all fencers must be members of USA Fencing, join  @ www.usfencing.org  If you are not planning to compete in tournaments you may get a non-competitive membership for $5, competitive memberships are $70.
2. We will be starting fresh tonight with Liability waivers/medical emergency info for Hampton Roads Fencing Club, I will try to make sure everyone receives a form, but if I miss you, please ask for one. 
3. PayPal is now up and running for HRFC, so any payments made on the IWFC page will go to HRFC, as always, checks and cash are fine as well.  Dues are still $25. 
4. Scott Young is stepping up as our new coach, he is awesome, but keep in mind that right now we are not doing classes, we are doing "open club" only till we figure out how to make everything work. What does that mean, you ask? Well, it means that Scott is there to help fencers with questions, do some light coaching, and to do some fencing of his own. Even Uber Fantastic Coach Vicki didn't coach the entire time on "open club" nights. We are working on getting some classes set up, and hopefully an assistant coach or two as well, as soon as we have clearance on them we will list their names for you. 
5. See you on the strip! Let's make Coach Vicki proud of the group she gathered together. 

We're Moving!

Those of you who were at club Thursday probably heard that we have found a new home. Starting Monday, Sept. 23rd we will be at Boys and Girls Club in Yorktown. 11201 George Washington Memorial Hwy  Yorktown, VA 23690 (map). The Boys and Girls Club is attached to the back side of York Middle School, there is a parking lot in back with a Boys and Girls Club sign, it is separate from the school lot that is in front. Please park in the lot and walk down the sidewalk to the back corner where the entrance to Boys and Girls Club is. Do not park down by the entrance as the gate will be locked before the end of club.  We will have club Monday and Thursday from 7-9 pm. Things might be a little crazy at first while we iron out all the wrinkles, but we know Coach Vicki gathered a great group of fencers and we will make her proud. We have to note that Boys and Girls Club has been wonderful to work with, they have gone above and beyond to try and make this happen for us and they continue to try to make this transition as smooth as possible.

 View of the facility from the parking lot.  Please don't drive through the gated area.

 This is the entrance to the Boys & Girls club.  No parking down here.

When you enter the Boys & Girls club the gym is straight ahead.
