Hi everyone,
Fencing will have to be cancelled for this week. We apologize to those who actually came to today's fencing practice (in the pouring rain) to find out that the SUB was closed/locked! We had no idea the building would be closed today. All of the SUB doors appear to be locked. The AMS let us book a room for today starting at 7:00 pm in the SUB...but failed to inform us that the building would be closed/locked. Not sure why they let us book a room in the first place, considering the building is locked and that no one was able to get into the SUB...
Anyway, we would like to apologize for the inconvenience. :(
Because we don't want the same situation to happen again, we will have to cancel Thursday's fencing practice. I have no way of knowing if the SUB will be closed again on Thursday. So...to play it safe, there will be no fencing for the remainder of December.
We will see you all in January. The term 2 schedule has been posted up on our website: http://ubcfencing.blogspot.com/2010/12/2010-2011-term-2-schedule.html
The first class for term 2 will start on Thursday, January 6.
Anyway, we hope you enjoy the rest of your winter break and have a happy new year. Again, we apologize for the confusion and inconvenience.

Club equipment order for term 2
Hi everyone,
We are doing another club equipment order from Absolute Fencing for term 2.
If you are interested in ordering some fencing equipment, please email us by Thursday, January 6, 2011! We actually get a club discount of 20% if you buy AF products. Note that if you want to order something and get the discount, you would have to be a club member.
We get discounts on equipment which range from 5-20%:
-AF items -- 20% discount
-AF kits -- 5% discount
-Uhlmann & Negrini, all FIE blades, and French and German parts -- 15% discount
-Leon Paul products -- 10% discount
Please send Paul a complete description of the item(s) you want, and pay a non-refundable deposit of 50% of the estimated total cost - e.g. if the item costs $100 USD, you can just pay us a $50 deposit (in Canadian dollars, of course). The US-Canadian exchange rate is almost on par so you save quite a bit if you order!
There is the CSCs coming up in late January so if you need to order any FIE equipment, the deadline to send in your equipment order will be on January 6, 2011, during fencing practice. We will be sending in the order to Absolute Fencing over the weekend to ensure that your gear arrives well before the CSCs!
In your email, please include the following information:

This will be our LAST equipment order for the school year.
If you don't have any gear, or want to upgrade your gear to be able to compete in local tournaments, AF has some great starter kits including electric kits. Please note that foil competitions in BC require masks with a conductive bib.

CSC #2 (Cadet/Junior) and CSC #1 (Senior) - January 28-30, 2011
Hi folks,
The CSC #2 (cadet/junior) and CSC #1 (senior) is coming to BC (Richmond Oval - 6111 River Road, Richmond, BC) from January 28-30, 2011.
The CFF has just released the qualification list for the CSCs. You can check if you qualify to compete in the CSCs. According to the revised selection criteria, they are now allowing everyone with a CFF senior ranking (any ranking) to be eligible to compete in the CSCs. You don't need to be top 64 in Canada to be qualified anymore.
http://www.fencing.ca/competitions/2011jan_csc_selection_list.pdf
They also posted up the qualification criteria for 2011-11 CSCs/Nationals.
http://www.fencing.ca/policies/athletes/2010-2011-Selection_Circuit_Selection_Criteria-eng.pdf
If you wish to compete in the CSCs in January, you must make sure you are in the qualification list - they will not offer any refunds if you register for the CSCs and are NOT qualified to compete in that competition. Then, you must submit the entry form online and pay the necessary entry fees. The first registration deadline is January 14, 2011, at 9:00 pm PST. After that, the fees will be tripled (late penalty fee).
For more information including where to fill in the entry form, please go here: http://www.fencing.ca/competitions/2011jan_csc_info_eng.htm
Note that for senior events, it is mandatory that you have a FIE jacket and breeches meeting the FIE standards of 800 N or better. You also need a FIE sous plastron and FIE mask. We will be doing a term 2 club order and will send in the order in the beginning of January so that it arrives well before January 28th. If you want to compete in the CSCs but do not own any FIE equipment, please talk to us as soon as possible and we can arrange to send in the club equipment order so that you receive your FIE equipment on time.

Please RSVP as soon as possible if you wish to come, preferably by Thursday 10:00 pm (we need to know how much food to buy!). We will need to let you in the building - it's locked from the outside. We will also email you (privately via email) the details on which building and room the party will take place in. We'll also ask you when you'll be showing up to the party so we know when to meet up with you and let you into the building.
If you want to bring some food, potluck-style, you are welcome to. Please let us know in advance if you do want to bring some cookies or other yummy foods. We will have food, pizza, soft drinks, juice and other snacks available. If you want to bring some of your own Wii games or board games, please feel free and let us know if you're bringing any!
There will be Wii games, board games and last but not least, a fencing movie!
So please RSVP as soon as possible! We hope to see you there! If not, good luck on your exams, and have a wonderful and safe holiday...we'll see you in January! :)
HSS and RDT results
Hi folks,
We've been getting a number of questions and concerns regarding the HSS and RDT rankings on the CFF website. We just wanted to clarify with you that the results have already been sent last month, and will be up on the domestic rankings soon. The CFF will be importing both of the tournament results, sorry for the inconvenience! They told us that the results files were misplaced hence why it was not imported into the rankings system...but they'll fix it soon! Please be patient! :/
Kind regards,
UBC Fencing Club

Tron movie social - December 22, 2010
Hi everyone,
Looks like we will be having a movie social on Wednesday, December 22, 2010.
We're going to watch the movie Tron: Legacy 3D.
Here's a trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4RiUy23e9s&feature=channel
We will opt for the afternoon showing since the movie will be released on December 17th and I figure it will be fairly packed in the evening showings.
We will go for the 4:00 pm showing. We'll meet at the entrance at 3:00 pm to buy tickets. That way, you'll have time to also go to the washroom or buy popcorn/snacks.
We will watch it in the Scotiabank Theatre (900 Burrard Street - near Robson & Burrard St.) in downtown Vancouver.
We are also selling Cinplex Odeon movie coupons for $9 each. If you are interested in buying them, let me know.
If you would like to join us for the movie social, please RSVP by Tuesday, December 21 at 10:00 pm so I have a good idea of who will be coming.
We will go out for dinner afterward so if you would like to join us, let me know.

Movie social for December
I realized that since it's the exam period, most of you may not be available on December 11th. The Harry Potter movie social will be cancelled. A new movie social will be rescheduled for another day.
I have set up a Doodle page you guys can fill in if you're interested in watching a movie with us. We want to know when you all are available. Possible dates go from December 8 to 30th. Note that we will still have fencing on Mondays and Thursdays in December so try not to fill in those days we have fencing!
We'll most likely watch it in the Scotiabank Theatre (900 Burrard Street) in downtown Vancouver OR in SilverCity Metropolis in Metrotown (Burnaby). They're both accessible by transit (bus/skytrain).
Here is the Doodle page: http://doodle.com/u7peas4tt8ew6vdx
Please fill the Doodle page by December 6th.
The top 4 movies to choose from - we'll watch one, but you can vote on which movie you want to see. We'll go with the most popular movies. (The Doodle page had 3 movies listed, but I just saw the Tangled trailer and it looks good). http://www.cinemaclock.com/Vancouver.html
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (movie already came out)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EC2tmFVNNE
Tangled (movie already came out)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ip_0CFKTO9E
The Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader (movie comes out December 10)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxfb1L-hMxU
Tron: Legacy (movie comes out December 17)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9szn1QQfas
Also, we are selling Cineplex Entertainment movie coupons for $9 each. If you go to a Cineplex movie theatre, you normally have to pay $12 for an adult movie ticket. You actually save $3 using the coupon! The movie coupons we're selling expire August 31, 2012. The coupons also work for Scotiabank Theatre, SilverCity theatres, Cineplex Odeon, and Famous Players. We'll be selling them at the movie social.
