First of all I would like to begin by thanking all of our volunteers for helping over the weekend of the competition. We ran an exceptionally successful weapons control and café this year and everyone who was a part of it should be especially proud.

Thank you Bordeaux Bakery

A big thank you goes to the team at Bordeaux Bakery for supplying a large amount of the delicious baked goods that we had on offer. They supplied us many different treats such as a large variety of Danish’s, brownies, rolls and croissants. If you are ever craving these treats again, I know I am, they can be located either on Thorndon Quay or at the Lower Hutt morning market on Saturdays. A link to their Facebook page can be found here and a link to their website can be found here.

Hi all Saturday morning Fencers.

We have managed to book in an alternative venue for our Saturday class on the 8th and 29th of May 9th and the 19th of June. As mentioned in a prior post, we were unfortunately unable to use the St Bernard’s hall on these dates so we have had to seek out an alternative venue. We will be using Moera Community Hall for training in lieu.

Alternate Training Schedule

However, with this change of venue we are required to leave very promptly. Please refer to the times in the table below.

Date	Time Start	Time End	Venue
Saturday 8th of May	11.00am	1.00pm	Moera Community Hall
Saturday 29th of May	11.00am	1.00pm	Moera Community Hall
Saturday the 6th of June	11.00am	1.00pm	Moera Community Hall
Saturday 19th of June	11.00am	1.00pm	Moera Community Hall

Fencing will resume Monday the 3rd of May 2021 almost as normal and we will be wrapping up on Saturday the 10th of July. Our timetable term 2 is as below:

	Start Time	Finish Time
Mondays	6.45pm	9.00pm
Thursdays	6.45pm	8.00pm
Thursdays Seniors	6.45pm	9.00pm
Saturday	11.00am	1.00pm

Please note however that there are some time changes to our Saturday class on certain dates due to the schools use of their gymnasium. Below is a list of the affected dates. Please stay tuned as we are currently looking for an alternative venue for these affected training days.

• 8th of May
• 29th of May
• 5th of June
• 19th of June
