Although the U of M cannot seem to handle having fencing onsite, there IS fencing in the area for ANYONE who would like to either try or practice/train.

Simply contact me - Coach Tom - at 901-258-1075 and I can update you on times/place, etc.

Heck I can even supply you with equipment if that's what you need. Just come out and give it a try?

AND TO ALL MY FORMER STUDENTS: get your butts out and cross some blades at least ONCE in a while??? :)

- That's all for now.

Anyone who wishes to come to the Con and fence - I will have a strip set up for those who already know what to do!
