This Saturday we will be hosting the 3rd round of the NSWSFL Epee Team Premiership.
All Epee Squad members are expected to attend and assist where needed if you are not actively fencing. I would appreciate some assistance with setting up the COLA in the morning so please aim to arrive by 7:15am if possible.
The Fencing Parent Committee will be providing morning tea for students and parents. Please remember to bring $2 to help with catering expenses.

P.S. Please note safety regulations for Epee fencers: ensure all fencers wear knee length socks with breeches (uniform is one white sock, one SBHS soccer sock on the back leg – Rugby sock for SBHS U19 fencers). Fencers will not be able to compete if not in full fencing uniform (no exposed skin).

Please contact Mr Huynh if there are any issues.
