Introduction to referring course - 19th February, nr Ipswitch

The Eastern Region fencing association are running an introduction to referring course on Saturday 19th February near Ipswitch. The course lasts all day and costs £14.50 to attend, although they will refund this is you subsequently referee in a competition for them. Jon (Daley) is going up, so there is an opportunity for lift sharing. Please get in touch with him direct for more details.

Fencing Club Social - Thursday 24th February

There is no fencing on Thursday 24th February, as the school hall is unavailable. Instead we are planning to decamp to a nice local restaurant (possibly Thai Rack on George St) followed by the pub (somewhere that does proper beer). More details will be posted closer to the date, but please let Helen know if you would like to come. Email socail(a)sa-fc.org.uk replacing (a) with @.

Membership survey

The committee are planning a membership survey, to see what you all think of current nights, potential changes and what you'd like the focus of the club to be. This is advance notice that an email will be coming your way with the survey details on. Please take five minutes to respond, it will help to make the club what you'd like it to be!

Last, but not least we have two safety warnings for all club members and visitors to the site.
1. If you are fencing electric you must wear breeches; if you are not, you will be asked to stop.
2. If you find any defective kit please tell a member of the committee, or mark the item with some of the warning tape in the kit cupboard. We won't be mad if you break something, but we won't be able to fix it if you don't tell us it's broken!

Thanks for reading,
See you all for fencing on Thursday.

Helen :)
