22 January 2007—News Roundup for the First Week of Term Forum- please try to read this! It's an easy way of keeping in touch with what's going on in the club or just chat about films. http://www.john-spafford.co.uk/fencing_forum/ Basics training day- this is on Sunday 21st January, 9 until 2 in the sports centre. For a mere £7.50 you get all that extra training and a one to one lesson. If you are interested in going then please email me or Suzanne- S.Elliott@student.liverpool.ac.uk as we need to know the numbers in advance Membership fees- as it's the start of the new semester its time for more membership fees. Its only £20 for the rest of this academic year's fencing. Bargain! Fees are due by the end of the month and after that if you haven't paid you won't be allowed to fence if you do. Cash or cheque please. Kit fees are still £2 for the week, you are exempt if you own jacket, glove and plastron. Grade one foil- this is going to be held in the first session back (6 until 7.30, 23rd January). Cost will be around £5, and must be paid before the exam. If you are not going to be able to make it then you will need to arrange an alternative time for the exam with Mike. Grade one social- this is going to be on the 27th of January in magnet. Everyone welcome, newbies and oldies. Ask the social secretary for more details. Sabre training day- this is on the 24th of March with Laszlo. More details will be available nearer the time, but keep that day free in your diary Training restarts as usual on the 23rd of January (Tuesdays 6-7.30, 8-10, Thursdays 8-10 and Saturday 12-2) Stef Wischhusen (LUFC Treasurer) |

24 January—Presiding Course by Mike Thornton LUFC are please to announce that we are holding a refereeing (presiding) course on Sunday 28th January at 11am to 4pm (latest) at the Herculaneum Suite/Carnatic Halls of Residence (Mossley Hill Rd, Liverpool) We are proud to invite a very special guest speaker: Mike Thornton who is one of the countries most senior and qualified fencing referees. The course will cost only £5. Payment ASAP to Stef (treasurer). There will be effectively 3 levels to the course – 1.- Basic refereeing for all in foil, epee and sabre 2.-More technical stuff for experienced fencers - to dispel the myths of refereeing picked up over time – for the seniors 3.-An optional exam (BFA level 4 referee – the lowest) which will cost and additional £5 (admin fee) but only if you pass NOTE: It is also possible to enter ones self for the level 3 referee on the same day. This requires the participant to actively do Open Refereeing over a number of weeks as well as a written exam. All those wanting to do one or both of these courses, please contact me asap! This is an excellent opportunity to learn from one of the very best referees on the British circuit. He is an international standard referee and a very nice and personal guy. He is a top coach, assisting the coaching of the Boys Cadet Epee Team. He is also an incredibly busy man, so this is a very rare privilege. For more info on Mike see: http://gbboyscadetepee.co.uk/whoswho.htm This course is invaluable to any fencer. If one knows the rules and understands then, they can learn to use them and so become very good fencers. Plus the club needs good refs. So please come along and have a very good day!
