The University of North Texas Fencing Club will officially be practicing in the Ken Bahnsen Gym on Mondays and Wednesdays from 8:15pm - 11:15pm this semester. Our first practice is scheduled for Wednesday September 16th. Please do not go into the gym earlier, as we've been told there will be a class going on during that time. If you arrive early, please congregate outside the gym (weather permitting). I will be arriving around 9:45, but we will have something in store for you at the start of practice, I promise.

Hope to see you all there!

Mark your calendars, the first Informational Meeting for the University of North Texas Fencing Club will be Tuesday, September 8th from 8-10pm in the Rec Center, rooms 205 & 207. If you, or anyone you know is even remotely interested in the sport of fencing, we welcome you to come out and learn a bit about the club and long and glorious tradition of the sport. We will have waivers on hand so that we can get as much preliminary paperwork out of the way as we can so we can start this semester's practice as smoothly as possible. I'm sure I speak for the rest of the officers in hoping we have a great semester and look forward to seeing our returning membership again, as well many new faces on the piste this year.

So, some how I forgot to put up my congratulatory message for the new officers!

And I still have my moderator status (which, I'm sure, will be amended quickly after this post).

I had a great year as president. We had some issues and some new hurtles, but nothing we couldn't handle as a club.
I'm confident that in the hands of your new officers, the UNT Fencing Club will continue strong.
I thought I was leaving, but I'll still be around - Just playing a much smaller role.

Congratulations to the new officers:
President: Danielle Tarver
Vice-Pres: Courtney Roberts
Student Instructor:Vincent Santa Maria
Armorer: James Perez
Historian: Dalton Jojola

Sorry this was a little late in coming, look forward to the coming year!

UNT Fencing Wind-Jackets

Ok guys, I've been talking to Jammin all day about our jacket order. Basically we have 2 different Jacket ideas in mind.

DESIGN 1
 One idea will cost approximately $92.50, not including tax or S&H (Add $2.00 if you want your officer position below your name also). This is on a jacket that is Black with white contrast and white embroidery. (or we can do a solid black jacket, which would lower the price to $87.50)
This will include:
    Front of the Jacket: Fencer's name and officer position (if applicable)
    Back of the jacket: there will be the words "UNT Fencing" in a semi circle around a fencer lunging logo.

DESIGN 2
The other idea is slightly more expensive and will include a digitizing fee, which we don't have the exact price for, but it will be about $10 more per jacket. This jacket design will cost $100 BEFORE the addition of the digitalizing fee, tax, and S&H. The jacket will be solid black with white embroidery.
    Jacket front: The UNT Fencing LOGO will be on the right side of the chest, with the fencer's name on the opposite side and officer position if applicable.
    Jacket Back: The back will have the words "UNT Fencing" written in Athletic font in white embroidery.

Please facebook Danielle with your vote for Jacket 1 or Jacket 2 before practice on Thursday. The winning design will be announced at practice Thursday, 02/12/09.

Once we know who is wanting to order a jacket, and the sizes, we may be eligible for more discounts due to similar sizing and large quantity order. The estimates for the above mentioned designs are based on quantity orders of 10.

Thanks for your patience on this guys!

There will be no practice tonight, February, 10th. Practice is tentatively scheduled to resume Thursday, February 12th at the Mean Green Village, but all interested parties are encouraged to check this website for information before heading out for the next few weeks.
