SAFC News Update - January 2012
Hope everyone has had a good weekend. It's been busy down SAFC which is fantastic. We've never seen a year get off to such a well attended start, and we're all very pleased about it.
We had a small gang of us head to Cambridge on the 14/15th for Sabre - everyone came back in the top 20 (although some were more pleased than others about where in the 20). Other than that not a lot's gone on - although there is plenty coming up:
Our match against Bedford was postponed until this coming Thursday so if you're interested in foil/epee then let Philip know.
If you're under 20 there's County Age Group Championships on the 11 February - entry form is available here, and also has the BYC Qualifier details on the same page. If you'd like more information about either speak to Jon.
For those that are interested there is also the Slough Open next weekend - they may be accepting late entries - from the looks of it there are plenty of slots left for Mens Foil if anyone is interested. If you've yet to do a competition this is probably a good one as there will be some familiar faces about on the day.
Senior County Championships are a way off yet but for a date for the diary 13th May should go in there - entry form also on the HFA website. If you can follow HFA on facebook we'd appreciate it, if you've any ideas then mail them to info@hertsfencing.co.uk.
Finally we have our AGM at the Garibaldi on the 21st February at 8pm, there's food and a drink on offer. Agenda's will be going out either Tuesday or Wednesday this week coming but we've already announced on Thursday that a fee increase is being proposed. If you can think of ways of trimming down the expenses or boosting the income then let us know - if you weren't around on Thursday and want a copy of the proposals and the accounts for last year then let us know at the usual address.

Happy New Year!
Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas break and you're ready to burn off the Turkey this Thursday until 10:30!
Firstly a big thank you to Bev for sorting out this years Christmas meal - it was very well attended and there were certainly a few of us regrouping at The Boot afterwards...
The day before our Christmas meal we completed the Sabre leg of our local derby against Watford, thus winnning the series and the Wooden Spoon. Well done to all who took part, and I'm sure we all look forward to it ruining trophy cabinets across the club in years to come.
In the world of the less interesting we have our AGM planned for this quarter so in order to vote we need this quarter paid up in advance (if you're over 18 that is) - we'll let you know venue and date when we've got them sorted. If you have anything you'd like to put as an agenda item please let Jon or Peter know. Alternatively if you'd like to get involved then come and harass any of the committee - we like it really.
In the world of competitions coming up:
Cambridge Winter Open - Jan 14/15 (but accepting late entries)
Slough Open - Feb 3/4 (closing date 27 Jan)
HFA Age Group Championships Feb 11 (closing date 4 Feb)
Keele University Fencing Open Feb 25/26 (Closing date 10 Feb- or see Jon)
Nottingham Open March 3/4 (closing date 25 Feb)
If you're going to any of these then let us know. We're hoping to get together a regular crowd who do opens for mutual support/heckling so make yourself known!
See you Thursday
