Hello FENB Families! Registration for the 20-21 season is now open. Here's the link!... https://2mev.com/#!/memberships/fencing-escrime-nb-2020-2021

Hi everybody, As most of you know, David Collins has decided not to renew his contract as Executive Director, and is leaving his position as of today. He has been integral to fencing in this province for the last three years, and we will miss the dedication and enthusiasm he brought to the role (though perhaps not his bad puns!). We are sorry to lose him as our ED, but he will still be highly involved in fencing, especially with the Fundy Fencing Club, so this isn't really go...odbye, but an opportunity to say Thank You David for all you have done for FENB. We have greatly benefited from having you run our ship, and the sport and the community are definitely better for it. To fill David's shoes, Sally Goodwin will be taking over as Executive Director. She will be a familiar name to some, having been the Team Manager for the Provincial Team Toronto trip in March. Sally brings her administration and sports expertise from her roles at the Fredericton Playhouse and the Fredericton Minor Baseball Association. She is excited to pick up where David left off and help bring fencing back in these challenging times. Please join us in giving her a warm welcome! Cheers, Wendy Yano President, FENB

Don't get rusty while you're not fencing-and that means your equipment too! This site has lots of great resources for keeping your equipment in top shape: http://www.homfencing.com/armory-videos.html

Worried about getting rusty with your refereeing? Or want to practice reffing for when things start up again? This site is a great resource: https://actions.quarte-riposte.com/

Bored from being stuck at home with no fencing? Get cored (which is obviously short for "core strengthened") instead. https://youtu.be/uxt8d-it58A

If fencing against your vacuum sucks, then here is a guide for dummies: https://youtu.be/oztPIofB3WM

As (when?) the weather gets nicer athletes will want to do some safe and responsible training outside. Here's something to keep in mind: https://medium.com//belgian-dutch-study-why-in-times-of-co
