We are hoping that we will be able to start fencing this week on either Monday or Thursday but we still haven’t heard back from the school. Once we hear back from them on Monday morning, we will be able to update you at Monday lunchtime what the plan is from this point onwards.
Thank you for your patience throughout this and hopefully we will be seeing you all again this Monday.
Due to the Level 4 COVID mandates, we will not be running any further sessions until we can get an update from St Bernard’s. We have cancelled the Saturday and Monday sessions and we are waiting to see how likely we will be able to run at level 3.
We will update you as soon as we hear of any new developments that the school provides.
Stay safe.
Thursday night, we would like to take a club photo to put on Facebook. Parents and siblings are also and especially welcome. Fencers If you can wear your club tops that would be great. This photo will be taken at 7:05 St Bernards.
This is going to be the last session of the term. We will be having a game day and all are welcome to attend. Start time for this session is 11.00am and finishes at 1.00pm.
We have had confirmation from the school that we will be able to use the St Bernard’s gym next term. The session times will remain the same.
We look forward to seeing you over the next 2 sessions and for those that we don’t, enjoy a well deserved break.
