Virginia Tech Fencing Club Minutes, 2/28/05

 

My Monologue:

MACFA/NIWFA Results

February and hectic schedule for the team is finally over.  Congratulations to both teams for doing very well last weekend.  The next team event isn’t until April 2nd when we travel to Michigan for USACFC.  We’re looking into getting a charter bus for this again and splitting it with UVA.

 

Yearbook Pictures

All current members please show up to Litton Reeves today (Tuesday, March 1st) at 7:00 for yearbook photos.  Wear your fencing jacket (the attractive orange, white, and maroon one) or a fencing t-shirt if you have one.

 

Beginner Lessons + Blue Gauntlet

Beginner lessons have been extended one extra week.  This is mostly due to the fact that Blue Gauntlet has failed to provide us with our glove order in any reasonable amount of time.  Unfortunately this is indicative of the quality of service BG provides.  As a club we have decided that we will no longer purchase anything from BG and we also recommend that anyone reading this doesn’t either.  You can expect a more detailed description of the problems we and other clubs and individuals have had to be sent to the listserv at some point in the near future.

 

Elections and Amendments

The annual meeting will be held soon after the beginner’s lessons are finished.  We will elect officers for next year and vote on proposed amendments.  Online nominations of officers will begin March 16th and end March 22nd.  Nominations and proposed amendments are sent to the listserv.  Any current member can nominate any other eligible current member.  The nominee must accept or decline the nomination by responding to the listserv.  Online voting (if you can’t make the meeting in person to vote) will begin March 23rd and end March 30th.  Jen Webster will be acting as a neutral 3rd party to collect online votes (so votes are emailed to her and NOT to the listserv).
