Fall Introductory Class
Our next Youth Beginner Class begins on October 26, and is open to new fencers age 9-12. The class will run for six weeks (on Saturday mornings) and give students a great introduction to the sport. This is the perfect class to share with others who might be interested in trying out a new sport! Be sure to spread the word, and feel free to share this link !
Quicksteel Card Game
Earlier this year, a local game designer approached Hooked on Fencing with an idea for a two-player, fencing-themed card game. The game is now complete, and features some very cool art and design! Hooked on Fencing is featured in some of the marketing (including a promotional video), and we're happy to point some people that way. If this is something that interests you, check out the Kickstarter page for the game, and consider supporting a neat project within the fencing community!
Cedar Point Trip
Our annual Cedar Point trip will take place during Halloweekends on October 26! All HoF members and families are welcome to join us at Cedar Point. You can either meet us at the park, or meet at HoF at 11:00am, and leave as a group by 11:15. Fencers 13 and up can be dropped off at the club to carpool. Younger fencers should plan to come to Cedar Point with parents. There will be a sign-up sheet at HoF for those wishing to catch a ride. If any parents are willing to attend/provide transportation, you can sign up there as well! As a result of the Cedar Point trip, HoF will close at 11:00am on Saturday, October 26th!
Attendees can purchase their Cedar Point tickets individually. There is still an ongoing deal for the 2020 Gold Pass , which provides access to the park for the remainder of 2019 and all of 2020, and includes free parking. Get your ticket soon and save!
Paper Towels
Hooked on Fencing is in need of a few basic supplies at the moment, such a paper towels. We rely on your generous donations to keep the club clean and looking great. There's a running list of frequently-needed items on the bulletin board at the club--if you are willing to donate a few cleaning items, your support is greatly appreciated!
