Other bits and pieces:
Sickness:
Please see our recommendations regarding sickness and the novel H1N1 virus.
Bad Weather:
As we start to move towards the end of the summer, we thought a gentle reminder of our 'bad weather' procedures might be in order.
First, please make sure that wet or muddy footwear stays outside the gym - the floors get very slippery when they are wet, so it is important that both fencers and 'chauffers' bring a change of footwear with you.
Secondly, please be sure to check the website before heading out to practice. Any practice cancellations due to bad weather will be announced before 4pm. We don't tend to cancel many practices, but many of our coaches and fencers travel in from out of town and keeping everybody safe is our main priority. If there is any doubt, please err on the side of caution!
Happy Thanksgiving!
