Weekly Update: February 11, 2008

This Week:

All practices will be running as normal this week, with the exception of the 8pm class on Wednesday night. Ranil will probably be out at all, though if you need to see him, please email to confirm.

This past weekend was the Ottawa Shield. Kathryn placed 1/10 in WS, and Dan placed 16/32 in MF.

Bad Weather:

A couple of reminders.

1) Please do not wear wet shoes into Martin John's Hall. The floors get very dangerous when they are wet. Similarly, if you wheel your bag through the snow, please carry, rather than wheel it across the stage, and bring a towel or something to put underneath it. Please help us keep our fencers safe.

2) Please check the website after 3:30pm to make sure practices are running before heading out. This is the means by which any last minute changes to the practice schedule will be announced.

3) If you are in any doubt as to whether it is safe for you to come out to practice, please stay home. We'd much rather you missed a practice but lived to tell the tale.

Germs:

Please be considerate when you are unwell, and try not to share your germs. This is a time of year that a lot of bugs and such are doing the rounds. If you are in any doubt as to whether you are contagious, stay home. Please. Also, if you are using shared masks or equipment, you might want to consider wiping them off before and after you use them with antibacterial wipes.
