Just a reminder that there are two upcoming events at the club this month.

The 2018 AGM is being held Thursday night (10th May) at the clubrooms, starting at 6pm. This should not take too long, but we would like to see as many fencers, parents, caregivers and other interested people as possible. We still need nominations for committee positions, so please give some thought as to how you can contribute to the club. Without the hard work of our committee, the club simply cannot continue to operate.

The second event is the Fundraising and Birthday party being held on the 26th May. We need to know approximate numbers as soon as possible, so if you are intending to attend, please RSVP to huttvalleyfencing@gmail.com. Full details can be found here, and payments can be made to 12-3142-0358976-00.

Hope to see you all at the AGM tomorrow!

Hutt Valley Fencing Club is hosting a fundraising night to support our fencers going to the Koalas and U15/17 in Australia this year, and also celebrating a special birthday for our Head Coach Robert.

We will be preparing a meal including a leg of ham and other delicious food.

Robert will provide a bottle of wine per table, otherwise it’s a BYO and make sure you drive home safely.

• When: 26^th of May at 6:00 pm
• Cost: $25.00 a head, all profits going to our fencers.
