Clean shoes for the gym
With winter rapidly approaching, and ground outside being wet, slushy, muddy, sandy and salty, this is a reminder to all members to bring a clean pair of shoes to fencing nights.
Why?
- Safety: The waxed gym floor becomes very slippery when wet, which makes it dangerous to fence no.
- Respect the facility: The waxing process for the gym floor is expensive and the grit tracked in easily damages the floor.
Unexpected cancellation notification procedures
We were asked how a last minute cancellation of a fencing night is handled.
Primary notification method: E-mail
We will do our best to have a notification sent by e-mail to all registered members by 6:00PM/18:00.
Secondary methods
We will also post a notification to the following as soon as possible:
- Discord: In the
#announcementschannel. - Website: On the front page and in the News section.
