VFA Bulletin
October 30, 2023

A little late this week (word to the wise: I do not recommend getting a flat tire on a Sunday when you are far from home), so I'll keep it to two things:

1. SCHEDULE (PAY ATTENTION CHARLOTTE FENCERS!)
Special schedule swap in Charlotte due to Halloween
Tues Oct 31: 7-7:45 pm open fencing (arrive after trick or treating if you wish. Bonus points for arriving in costume. Double bonus points if the costume involves a sword. Triple bonus points if you bring candy.) 7:45-9 p.m Level 2/3 class
Thursday Nov 2: 7-8:15 p.m Level 1 class, 7-9 pm Competitive Squad practice
Wednesday's practice in Middlebury is not affected by this.

Next week we are back to the normal schedule.

Don't forget to purchase a new punch card when yours runs out. This week will mark Week 7 for Level 2/3 and Week 6 for Level 1.

2. SIGN UP NOW FOR THE STICK SEASON STAB
Saturday Nov 11, Vt Commons School, S. Burlington, Stick Season Stab
10 a.m Veteran Epee, Open (Senior Mixed) Foil
1 p.m Veteran Foil, Open (Senior Mixed) Epee

Veteran events are open to fencers born 1984 or earlier (because everyone needs to play with kids their own age from time to time). Open events are open to fencers born 2010 or earlier. Veterans, please do not sign up for two events that start at the same time. You may choose one morning and one afternoon event if you wish. Unrated fencers, including first time competitors, are welcome in open events as long as you are not frustrated by fencing with more experienced opponents.

To register, get directions, and see who else is coming:
