Hi to everyone… and happy October and happy Halloween!
Our September 19 tournament at COD had sixty-five participants and at the October 3 tournament at Hemet High School, Max Barber earned his E’09 in sabre taking first place and coming in second place in epee!

Close of check-in times are 9:am for sabre, 10:00 a.m. for foil and 12 noon for epee.
NEW GEAR:
I’ll be getting in some new fencing jackets and fencing gloves for the club. Those nifty 3-weapon polyester side zip fencing jackets and new fencing gloves.
If you are familiar with our red and black palm fencing gloves, the new gloves will have the black palm with reinforced index finger and thumb. The colors will be red, yellow, blue and green with white cuff, wide velcro closure with silver foam padding on back of hand. The gloves are washable.
If you are interested in purchasing one of these gloves, let me know your glove size, color preference and left or right handed. The gloves will be $15.
DFA will be open for fencing on Halloween, so come in costume if you wish and fence!
Wishing everyone a great October and blissful fencing,
Leslie Taft
Fencing Coach
