At the end of each quarter, we have a tournament within the club. This quarter it will span the last 2 practices, the 2nd and 4th of December.

Around the holiday season, we will be having a Gift Exchange! The exchange will happen on the last day of practice, December 4th, after medals are awarded. If you would like to sign up, use this link and be sure to make a wishlist.

Hey everyone!

CalPoly SLO has announced the date for their tournament (Saturday 11/09). Because of the large distance between Davis to SLO, we need to plan accordingly for an extended overnight stay.

Please answer the survey below so we can gauge the amount of people going to the tournament in order to plan for hotel rooms and car rides.

Especially since this is a 600mi round trip, we need all the drivers we can get. Please consider becoming an approved club driver if you can.

Thanks,
Patrick
Travel Secretary, Co-Treasurer

If you intend on washing your gear before a tournament, please remember to do a cold wash and rinse.

Do not use bleach.

Also please air dry your equipment. This means you can't wash the night before and have dry clothes in the morning.

Thanks,

Henry
Head Armorer

Sadly, there is some paperwork we all have to fill out before we can start fencing. Here's a quick rundown of what you'll need to do for this year:

1. Fusion Waiver. Instead of B2H, this year we have Fusion. Go to the UCD Rec page, here, and scroll down till you find the "Sport Clubs" icon. You'll then be prompted to log in with your kerberos ID;  from the list on the page that follows, find "Fencing" and follow the instructions. Through this process you will sign the waiver and pay the yearly insurance. It will only cost $20 for an entire year of insurance.

2. Health Information. Fill out your basic medical and emergency contact info on Presagia Sports, so we know who to contact in the event of an injury.

3. Pay the club dues if you haven't already. Cash to Kha Ton or Patrick Trieu works, and we also have a new Venmo account @UCDfencing.

• Full-Time: $80
• Half-Time: $40 (Once a week instead of twice)
  
• Whole Year (Full-Time for 3 Quarters): $240
  
• Whole Year (Full-Time for 3 Quarters) for new members: $210
  

If you made it through all that, then congrats, you're all done with pesky paperwork for now! Thanks and see y'all soon!
