CLUB CONSTITUTION & EGM:
The Club’s Constitution is due some updates and a proposed draft has been agreed by the Committee. Any revision needs to be adopted by the Club at a General Meeting and requires a minimum number of votes.
The training session on Thurs 19 Nov. will include an EGM (it should just take a few minutes) to facilitate a vote to adopt the update, which is available here.

HERTFORDSHIRE FENCING ASSOCIATION
HERTS. COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP: SAT. 12/12 @ HITCHIN
HFA have announced the Herts County Championship will take place in Hitchin on Sat. 12th Dec.
We realise that’s not much notice and comes at a busy time when many people have other plans.
The club strongly encourages all of our fencers to enter this event. Whether you are young or old, and consider yourself competitive or not, you should enter as this will be a fantastic experience and a great opportunity to fence others from outside the club.
