Lafayette schedule update
No fencing on Friday, March 8th. There’s a school play. Also, spring break is March 18-25th. Académie Lafayette is, of course, closed for that.
Schedule for fencing at Academie Lafayette, 6903 Oak
There is no fencing at A.L. for the rest of this week, and Monday is President’s days. So, our next practice there is Wednesday the 21st. New security policies require that we must enter through the doors nearest the office, and that we may not prop the door open. Meaning that there will be two windows where a coach will be by the door to let fencers in. From 6:20 to 6:40, and from 6:55 to 7:05. If you find no coach to let you in, text 785-550-6718 (Mark), or 785-550-6716 (Sam) for entrance.

News for current and former students
As we start back up, we want you back! We still have a hard time loaning uniform gear, so we’re not terribly actively seeking new students. Email us for where and when we’re meeting.
