All,

My apologies for the short notice. Tonight's practice is cancelled. Coach Tony has had something unexpected come up that he can't lead practice tonight. Unfortunately, it's a bit of a perfect storm. All of the other coaches are either traveling, had prior engagements, or are stuck at work. If you have another member's contact information please pass this info along. Sorry again for the short notice. If you have questions please don't hesitate to reach out.

Thanks,

-Tony

All,

The Clashing Steel Fencing Club will be shutting down for the months of June, July, and August. Historically this is usually our lowest attended months as most families are traveling or participating in other activities.

Our last practice will be Monday, May 19th and will be resuming Saturday September 6th. For our last practice we will be doing mostly games and packing up gear that needs to be fixed over break. I am planning to do some impromptu fencing nights in the park. I'll be sending out those updates via email and social media. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks everyone!

Hi Everyone,

Coach Guth at Cleveland Fencing Academy reached out today to invite our fencers to a tournament they are hosting Thursday Evening on Feburary 27th. What is nice is this is a two weapon event and kept very small. It's also a sanctioned event and the winner can earn their E25 rating. Anyone wishing to participate must have their access level membership with the United States Fencing Association. Let me know if you have any questions.

Here is the link to sign-up
