It is time for the smack down to be laid: Our armourer requests that you inform him BEFORE checking out gear for any tournaments/weekend/or just for kicks. On a happy note, our treasurer has generously donated hangers to the cause. Way to be James, way to be!
Meetings:
Officer meetings will now be held on Tuesdays, in the third floor cross-over lounge of Payne hall (until we find someplace better) at 6:45. As always, anyone is welcome to attend. Sometimes we have food. Seriously. It?s good times. Come on out, you know you want to.
Summer Fencing:
Our only option is to use the same time slot we did last summer, Monday-Thursday, 2pm-5pm. I know that won?t work for a lot of people, but it is the only time the room would be available and the gym closes earlier in the summer than during the school year. I hope everyone in or around Blacksburg this summer can come do some fencing!
For those of you wondering, Fall practices will be held at the same time next semester.
RecSports Deadlines:
The Sports Club Awards and Recognition dinner is on April 28. We?ll be nominating people via the Rec Sports office, so go there if you have someone to submit. There will be an email with more specifics soon.
Alumni Tournament:
Ohhh yes, it?s that time again. Time to get our butts kicked by our forbearers. May 1st--2nd is when it?s happenin?, and we are looking into having reduced fees this year (probably only 10$ per fencer, alums and all). Fencing will be running according to the times below. It looks like it will be an IHOP brunch at noon Sunday and Macados for dinner around 8 Sat. during which we will be taking over the entire top floor. We have a block of hotel rooms at the Red Lion in for traveling alums. A social is in the works for Saturday night. More information will follow in an email soon.
Set up will be Friday night, 9:00 pm ? 11:45 pm.
Foil: registration 9:00 am ? 9:30 am, fencing starts at 10 am
Epee: registration closes at 11:00 am, fencing starts at 11:30 am
Sabre: registration closes at 12:30 pm, fencing starts at 1:00 pm
The Website:
It?s been updated, and some more results have been posted. Cruise on over with the link below and check it out.
End of the Year Banquet:
5/5 at El gaud?s. Good times, good food, funny waiters. There will not be practice that night, and this marks the end or our practices for the semester. However, keep your eyes on your emails, there will be information about a social being held afterward the banquet, coming at you soon.
*****Fundraising:
The drawing will be April 27th at the officer meeting, so TURN IN YOUR TICKETS ASAP! Before that time, everyone needs to bring their ticket tabs with the names/email addresses and the moola to James.
Officers:
We?ll be making paper plate awards at our last meeting (May 4th) so start brain storming the who?s and what?s and bring any art supplies you may have lying around.
*If you have any questions, comments or concerns, or if you just really like sending emails, please email me (Kristin) ? dnzn@vt.edu
**Weekly officers meetings are held at 6:30pm, Tuesdays, in the cross-over lounge of Payne Hall. All are invited to attend.
