Fencing ... A sport for life

Blizzard '10 Snow Policy
Effective Monday February 8 - Liberal Leave Policy - The salles in Columbia and Timonium are open. but with a modified class schedule and a limited coaching staff.

CHIILD (7-8 yrs) group classes are CANCELLED. Your memberships will be extended for one week to make up for this.

YOUTH and ADULTS: Your classes may be combined and/or taught by a different coach. We are waiving our requirmeent that you notify us prior to missing a GROUP CLASS - therefore if you miss today, Mon Feb 8, we will make-up the CLASS (at another regularly scheduled CLASS) or extend your membership to compensate. If you want to extend membership one CLASS week, please stop by the desk to make your request in person - no emails, please - there's just too many of you.

PRIVATE LESSONS (ALL AGES) If you can get to the salle for your Monday regular standing appointment, then SOMEBODY will give you a lesson. (This is mostly for the benefit of competitive team fencers who are preparing for Junior Olympics.) If you opt NOT to come for your regularly scheduled Monday PRIVATE LESSON, then we will extend your lessons for one additional week OR refund the cost of one lesson (This is for those of you who cannot travel due to snow.) Please leave a message on the answering machine at your club (BFCT or BFCC) to indicate if you WILL NOT COME AS SCHEDULED so as not to leave the substitute coach hanging.

This policy is for Monday Feb 8 only, but if subsequent snows affect the area, we may extend this "snow policy" for additional days this week. Please check back on this website for further updates.

Finally, please be advised that USFA Junior Olympics are in Memphis TN starting on Friday Feb 12, and many of the coaches, staff and Competitive Team members will be traveling over the next few days. We appreciate your patience and flexibility.
