Training will start back on Saturday 21 January.  We will be in the Indooroopilly hall from 9:30 - 11:30 am as usual.  I hope everyone enjoyed your holidays and look forward to seeing you all there!

Training is cancelled this Saturday as I will be at the National Championships in Sydney, along with all the other coaches I could ask to open the club.  I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but we should be back on as usual next Saturday, 11th December.

There will be no training on Saturday 9 July, as I and many members of the club will be in Perth for the Cadet National Championships.  We will be running as usual both this Saturday (the 2nd) and the one following (the 16th).

There will be no club this Saturday, March 5th, as the first of the QLD Open competitions is on at Yeronga.  While we do not normally stop training due to competitions, there is regrettably no-one available to open and run the club.  My apologies if this will cause any inconvenience (or fencing withdrawals) and we will be back as usual the following Saturday, the 12th.

City Fencers will start back for 2011 this Saturday, 15 Jan, at the usual time (9:30 am) in the usual place (Indooroopilly SS).  So long as the weather permits!  It would probably be a good idea to check this page on Saturday or call me before you leave home, as it will be cancelled if I can't get there.  I will try to let people know if this happens, but my apologies in advance if I don't get through to you.

Club training has now finished for the year.  I hope that everyone enjoyed the last session (and that no-one was sick from the combination of fizzy drinks and running around) and look forward to seeing you all back next year.  We will start back on January 15, at the usual time and place.

This Sunday, 7 Nov, will see the fourth and last of this year's Schoolies competitions.  This will be held at Brisbane Girls Grammar School from 9:15-12:30 for primary schools ages and 12:30-3:30 pm for high school.  The competition is open to any fencers who are attending a QLD school and is a friendly introduction to fencing competitions.  Anyone who would like to experience a competition in this sport is well advised to start here!

Club will not be running on Saturday 9th Oct, as I will be in Melbourne coaching at the National Under 20s.  Unfortunately, most of the 'usual suspects' whom I might ask to open the club in my absence will be either competing or coaching there too.  So, regrettably, we will have to cancel on this date.  The prior Saturday, the 2nd, will be running as normal, though with Paul Crook running the club, as I will be down in Melbourne then too.  Paul will open and be available to do individual lessons too, so everything should be running as usual - he has even promised to avoid blow darts!

The third round of the Individual Schools competition (known as "Schoolies") will be Brisbane Girls Grammar School Gym.  At this stage, it looks as though All Hallows will be unable to host any competitions this year, so the fourth round will probably be at BGGS too.  Start times are the same, with entries for the primary school divisions starting at 9 am and high school at 12:15 pm.
