Volunteers needed!
A new fencing season is about to begin and we are again looking for people interested in helping to run the club. The following opportunities are available:
–
The Video Analysis Program is in need of volunteers to perform camara work for lessons and at tournaments. Camera and non-linear editing experience are assets, but are not necessary.
Volunteers are needed at a variety of promotional events in the next few weeks. KidsPark, Medieval Faire and Mall Registrations are all coming up and we will need people to help talk up the club. Parents or fencers are welcome to volunteer.
Septemberfest is coming soon and we will need volunteers to help run the tournament. We will need help with set-up, registration, canteen, armoury, clean-up, tear-down, etc.
As always, we are looking for interested persons to train in coaching, refereeing, tournament secretariat and armoury.
