Club Closure in May...

Just a reminder that we will be CLOSED on:

May 17 (Thursday), May 24 (Thursday), and May 25 (Friday).

Note that May 17th was not a previously announced closure, but we conflict with a school function.

Please mark your calendars.

As always, we will be closed in July for attendance at the Summer Nationals and a brief vacation. We'll re-open in August, and classes will resume in September.


Referee Ratings and Testing...

If you currently hold a referee rating of any form, Brad Baker announced at his referee clinic this weekend that all referees who have not taken the written exam in either the 2010-2011 season or the 2011-2012 season, are required to re-take and pass this exam prior to this years' season end, July 31, 2012. If you have not taken the referee exam -- online or in person -- in the 2010-2011 season or the 2011-2012 season, you are required to take and pass the exam prior to the end of the 2012 season (July 31, 2012) or you will lose your ratings. The FOC Referee Exam can be found here. You will need to create an account if you do not have one.


Beginning Class Schedule for June...

Because of our short announcement for closing on the 17th, we are offering to extend Beginning Class an additional session, to meet at it's regular time on June 7. Beginning Class will have no other meetings in the month of June. We will offer Beginning Class again in September, when we re-open after the summer break


Dominion Warm Up Jackets...

Some of you have expressed interest in getting one of the distinctive red Dominion warm up jackets. We are preparing to put in an order in time for Summer Nationals, so please contact us if you are interested. The price for a jacket is $95, with an additional $5 to have your name embroidered on the jacket. Contact Allen or Jill, or drop an email to info (at) dominionfencing.org
