General Membership Meeting

CLFC will hold its annual general membership meeting at 8pm on Thursday May 31, our last night at the Galloway School. This is the meeting where we will elect members of the board and executive committees. It is open to everyone, and all paid-up members of CLFC can vote.

We are working on securing a permanent fencing space starting in June, and we’ll post details as soon as we can.

We’ll be fencing the following nights at Galloway school: Thursday May 17, Tuesday May 29, and Thursday May 31. After that, we’ll be moving to the new space.

Prize for the Clear Lake Open Tournament

Here is a picture of the 1st place prize for the mixed events at the Clear Lake Open tournament, which will be May 19th at the Gilruth Center at NASA:

With a foil added for size comparison. Hope to see everyone there!

{Also a reminder: there will be fencing Thursday night, May 10th, at Galloway school}

Reminder: Board Meeting Tonight

8 pm for the board meeting tonight! We’ll be discussing specifics of the new space that we’re looking at, so we encourage everyone to attend. Please email if you need the location.

Our next night of actual fencing at the Galloway school will be next Thursday, May 10th.

Board Meeting Next Week

Once again, there will be no CLFC fencing this week or next. However, there will be a board meeting on Thursday, May 3rd at 8pm. All are welcome to attend. Please contact Curtis.Potterveld at gmail.com or Karen.Burnham at gmail.com if you need location information for the meeting. We are considering leasing a facility on NASA Rd 1 near Hwy 3 in Clear Lake that we’re very excited about, and we’ll be presenting more information on this space at the meeting.

I’d also like to note that our ‘About’ page has been updated with a link to the membership form, if anyone would like to join to support the club for the remainder of the 2011-2012 membership year.

Fencing Tonight + Happy News

Just a reminder that we’re still fencing tonight, at Galloway School, from 6 to 10 pm. This will be our last fencing night for two and a half weeks, as our next access to this gym will be on May 10th. With fortune’s favor, by the time we fence again we’ll have some definite news about the space we’ll be leasing in June. Keep an eye on this site for details.

In the meantime, please congratulate coach Samuel Sypien and Crystal Cervantes–as of Tuesday, April 17th, they’re the parents of a beautiful baby girl!

Open Fencing Tonight

There will be open fencing tonight at the Galloway school, from 6pm to 10pm. Around 8pm the coaches, board members, and executive committee members will be informally discussing an exciting new option for a club location, a facility located near the corner of NASA Parkway and Hwy 3 in Webster. Please join us!

CLFC is Moving!

We just don’t know where we’re going yet. However, we only have a few nights left to fence at the Galloway School before we lose the gym in June. Here are the dates:

April 17 and 19

May 10

May 15 and 17

May 29 and 31.

And here is the map to the school. We’ll most likely be there on those nights, between 6 and 10 pm, fencing mostly foil and epee with occasional sabre. Keep an eye on this space as we determine the new direction for our club.

Also: In all the confusion, don’t forget to register for the Clear Lake Open tournament, May 19th!
