The Basketball home game (last of the season) is expected to run late. We will expect to start at 6:45 or a little bit later and run until 745.
Competitive Class change
Competitive Class Time is Moved to 7:00pm Thursday from 6:30pm to avoid conflicting with Basketball Games and practices.
Beginner and Intermediate Classes will remain at 6:30pm on Tuesday. If basketball runs long we will just wait a few minutes and start when they end, and extend class a bit later.

Helene Relief: Please be aware that Fencing Club Asheville offers scholarship and sliding scale programs for beginners and other classes. If the cost of classes is an issue for you in participating in our sport, please talk to one of the coaches about our scholarship program. We want everyone to be able to fence!
