Seacoast Team Meet #4

This is it, the last meet of the season!  And this time, our team meet is being held in Rochester.  Yes, this is the first meet to ever be held in the Rochester branch of Seacoast Fencing Club.

This is our usual team meet, appropriate for all unclassified juniors and adults, and youths, and children.   All events start at 10:00 am, on Saturday June 14.  Be there a half hour early.  We will be using the collegiate format, a series of five touch bouts.  New fencers:  It is a perfect way to start fencing electric-  lots of help from our experienced fencers, and lots of fun!

 Rated foil fencers can enter the relay team meet at 1:30 pm.  All epee fencers (including unrated) can enter the relay epee, also at 1:30 pm.

Please let me know if you are able to come.  Manchester fencers, lets support the Rochester meet!  After all, they have been traveling to meets in Manchester for 13 years!

Rated fencers:  Please come in and help direct and coach the morning events.  I will provide lunch, and you can fence the epee and rated foil relay team events in the afternoon for free!  Plus, the morning people need your help (just as you did when you started out).
