HoF's Summer Camps
We have posted the dates for our summer camps. These camps will attract more fencers if our members sign up, so sign up early! The Youth Camp will be held the week of July 22-26, and the Advanced Epee Camp the week of July 15-20.
FFFFF Night
On Friday, May 3rd, we will be holding another FFFFF Night. There will be food, fun, fencing, and a film, and it will be Friday! Doors will open at 6pm; you can fence or just hang out, and there will be pizza. If you would like, you can bring a snack. You may also bring friends. We will aim to start the movie by 7:30pm, and plan on ending by around 9:30pm.
Spring cleaning
Our annual Spring Cleaning is on Saturday, May 4th, at noon. We will get the club ready for summer, do some cleaning and repairs, and generally keep the club in tip-top shape! The more of our members come to help, the faster we can get these chores done! If you are a contributing member of the club, you should be there to help out! If plenty of people come to help, we should be done no later than 3pm.
