  2. Training

    Hi once again to all, and a big hello to all new (and soon to be new) members to the University of Limerick fencing club. Training will begin (confirmed) on Thursday, the 17th of September. This will give people time to settle in on the first week back and then get into fencing on the second week. No equipment is required, just bring a pair of comfotable runners and tracksuit with you to training. Membership for the entire two semesters (which will include every training session and equipment is €5 for UL students (alumini and non-UL students should enquire to ulfencing@gmail.com). There are some minor changes to the training schedule as follows;

    • Training times (with coach Tristan Paris) for beginners is on Thursdays 6-7 in the main sports hall of the PESS building (also called the Sports Building and National Coaching and Training Centre) Click here for map (number 19)
    • Training times (with coach again) for intermediates and above is on Thursdays 7-8 in the main sports hall of the PESS building.
    • Uncoached training is now on Tuesdays between 6-8 in the main sports hall of the PESS building.

    I’ve added a few events and competions to the website (plenty more to come) along with a few other stuff here and there. We will also be having a stall up at the clubs and societies recruitment day on the 9th of September in the arena during orientation week so keep an eye out for us and feel free to come along and harass us!

    Looking forward to seeing you all next semester!

  8. News

    The news in brief for this fine week of 8-14March,

    Tristan is having problems of his own again this week and I quote “my turbo pump has blown so there will be no way I can make training on Thursday” (on his car for those who are wondering). But hey, stercus accidit, so we’ll just have to train without him.

    Also, the individual intervarsities is on the 21st and 22nd of March in Maynooth, there are more details on the website in the events section, have a think about it and let us know at training.

    Mark.

  10. Have You seen This Man?
Tristan can’t make it this week. But we’ll soldier on without him!
More importantly we’ll be heading to the pub afterwards, where there will be a FREE DRINK and finger food.
