It is that time of the year again. Excelsior will hold its AGM at 7:00 pm on Wednesday, April 28th, 2010 at the St. Louis Gymnasium. This is your chance to hear what the club has been doing and learn what the club is planning for the future. For voting members (members over 18 years of age or parents of members under 18) it is a chance to elect the board of directors. Come on out and discuss the future of Excelsior Fencing Club and let us know what you think.

Excelsior in Boston: Pomme de Terre
Most of you know that there is a group of fencers from Excelsior heading to Boston for the Pomme de Terre fencing tournament in June. The six fencers heading stateside are: Deb Briggs, Jennifer Caslick, Todd Caslick, Jackie Fountain, Jon Holtz and Julian Twardus. The tournament is on June 19th and 20th, so it is fast approaching.
This is the first of what Excelsior would like to make a regular occurrence: sending our fencers to competitions across North America. Next year there is a North America Cup tournament scheduled for Detroit in March. We are considering trips to large tournaments in Washington D.C. (Cherry Blossom) and Boston (Pomme de Terre again). Please keep an eye on the website for information regarding these trips in the future.
