Invitation to Students
I write to invite you to “Whack Wu, Part II.” Over the past year, I have been taking fencing lessons. I have arranged to host personally a group beginners’ fencing lesson for approximately a dozen attendees (spectators also welcome). You as well as your partner/spouse or child (minimum age seven years) also are welcomed as participants. Two experienced coaches/instructors will explain the basics of fencing, using a foil as the weapon, and I will then be pleased to accept challenges for bouts from any participant. This will occur at the Renaissance Fencing Club in Ferndale, Michigan, on Tuesday, February 20, 2006, from 7 pm to 10 pm. All safety gear will be provided (men may wish to wear an athletic protector; women will be provided with a breastplate); note a liability release form must be signed in advance.
If you are interested, please RSVP (indicating the total number of participants and spectators, respectively, and whether the participants are right-handed or left- handed) to Ms. Teryn Kennedy (terynkennedy@wayne.edu or 313-577-3933), by 5 p.m., February 12. Only the first five respondents will be accepted as participants. A liability release form, available from Ms. Kennedy, must be signed in hardcopy and returned to Ms. Kennedy by 5 p.m., February 12.
I look forward to this event.
