Club bookings will be cancelled until Feb 7th. Sorry for getting everyone's hopes up. There was a discrepancy between when the UBC email saying all bookings would be cancelled until the 18th, clubs receiving January schedules, and time between the official statement which seemed like a tentative green light.

Hopefully we'll see you in February (fingers crossed).

Our first tournament since before the pandemic! This will include unsanctioned Senior Mixed Epee and Senior Mixed Sabre. 

Register now for a spooky good time slashing and stabbing. :) 

See you on the piste!

Hello all!

 Monday practice (Jun 28) is cancelled. The AC in the booked room is not strong enough and there is a risk of overheating.

Please enjoy your Monday evening by staying hydrated and having a good rest!

As of June 15, 2021, BC has moved into phase 2 of the Restart plan. This means indoor high intensity exercises can now take place. We're  happy to announce that the June schedule is up (on the Calendar page)!

While practices start up again, All COVID guidelines must still be adhered to. Such guidelines include:

• masks at ALL TIMES

• social distancing

• gear rental system (More details on Membership & Fees page)

• wash/ sanitize hands before using equipment

• equipment will be cleaned at end of practices by executives

• tracking system - everyone attending practice must sign a COVID self-assessment at and for each practice attended 

​

Hope everyone is healthy and well. See you on the piste!

Pandemic restrictions have been extended to the end of the month (Feb 28th).

Practices are henceforth also indefinitely cancelled until then as well.

​

Stay safe and healthy, all!

Hello all!

​

Firstly– Happy New Years! I hope everyone's had a restful holiday break.

​

AMS announced yesterday that club bookings have all been cancelled up to February 5th. Of course, we will need to evaluate how COVID numbers are approaching this date. At the moment, this is the soonest practices can resume.

​

In other news, the term 2 Virtual Fair will be happening on January 29th, 1-4 pm. Drop by and say hi if you're interested, and let your friends know about it! Links will be posted here and the website at a closer date.

​

Thank you for your patience and understanding during these times, stay healthy everyone ❤︎

Hey guys,

​

AMS has cancelled all club bookings until Dec. 7th. Practices will hence also not happen at least until then. Depending on the situation afterwards, we will see whether it is safe to resume practices.

​

Hope everyone is staying safe and healthy still.

Due to the developing COVID situation in BC, it has been decided that Sunday practices are going to be cancelled for the rest of term. Hopefully meeting less will help decrease everyone's probability of getting COVID.

​

This Sunday (November 8th) will be our last Sunday practice of the term.

Monday and Thursday practices will continue as scheduled.

​

Thank you all for being understanding and adhering to the new COVID guidelines during practices.

​

Stay safe everyone.

Hello all! Tomorrow's practice is cancelled as it is Thanksgiving. Rest up, and we wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. :)

Practice is BACK ON. AMS made a mistake and Great Hall South is actually available. See you tomorrow!

Practice for Thursday, October 1st is cancelled due to unexpected room renovations. :(

Tonight's practice is cancelled due to room booking unavailability. We will see you on Thursday (Oct 1st)! 

Practices will resume on September 20th, 2020!

Some new conditions will be enforced due to COVID-19:

• First hour will be for beginners, rest of practice will be for more experienced fencers.

• Electric fencing will ONLY be available to those with their OWN EQUIPMENT.

• Any equipment lendable (such as club blades, wires) must be SANITIZED before returning.

​
