All Junior Foil Newbies – Please attend afterschool Development training on Thursday to prepare for your Friendly fixture with Newington this Saturday

As year 7 Newbies have a friendly fixture this Saturday at Newington, please make sure to attend the Development Training session afterschool on Thursday. Please bring a big enough sports bag to carry additional fencing equipment (lame, body wire, weapon).

For non year 7 Junior Newbies, you will also be learning more about preparing for fixtures during Thursday’s Development session. You are welcome to attend the friendly fixture on Saturday to observe and support our teams. We are limiting fencers to year 7 on Saturday to meet the host’s request for this initial fixture. We hope to increase opportunities for all newbies as we get a better feel for other schools’ capabilities to host.

Please note: Non Newbie Development Foil will be cancelled for Thursday Development Session this week to prioritise the space for Junior Newbie Foil fencers.

Clipboard rolls have been updated accordingly.

Please contact me if there are any issues or questions.
