Outdoor Practice Since the weather is so nice right now we're going to hold practices outside on Tuesday and Thursday night (for free!) at the Civic Center basketball courts next to Kids Cove. We'll start at 6 p.m. and continue until around 8 p.m. We will most likely cancel if the weather does not permit or there is not a club leader present. Please check the schedule frequently for updates. Our goal is to have a decision made and the Web site updated by noon the day of the practice.

Youth Fencing Announcement For those of you who have been waiting for an answer about youth fencing thank you for your patience. The good news is that along with the NMC Extended Education Coordinator we have agreed upon the creation of a youth fencing class. The idea is that youth fencers ages 9 - 13 will have a class dedicated specifically for them. The first youth class will begin in NMC Extended Education's spring session in April. The class will be four weeks long, one hour a week on Sundays before the adult classes. We're hoping to run two four week sessions so that young fencers can continue to fence through the spring.
