T he Birmingham Melbourne Fencing club would like to welcome our new Beginning Youth Class students to the 2010/2011 Melbourne Fencing season . We were extremely please and surprised with the continued popularity of our sport in Birmingham this year. This growth has allowed us to add two well qualified new Assistant Coaches from the ranks of our Advanced Class fencers, Fred Grindle (foil) and Kevin Jiang (sabre). We look forward to Melbourne Fencing with these bright young students, and getting to know their families. Please do not hesitate to contact David Arias or Coach Wang with any questions, concerns or suggestions. Once again, welcome to the Birmingham Melbourne Fencing Club! Find information and updates on the the Novera Herb Spector Veteran Tournament IV on January 29, 2011 , please click . This tournament will be a terrific tune-up for the March Veterans NAC. We are also planning to have a catered dinner, and dancing, the night of the Tournament. Please join us in honoring our dear friend, and USFA Hall of Fame member, Herb Spector. For Intermediate Class students interested in competition and refining their skills, our new Assistant Coaches are available to provide private lessons . Fred Grindle will be teaching foil, and Kevin Jiang will be teaching sabre. The fee is $20 for a 25 minute lesson. Please contact Coach Wang to check availability and schedule days/times. Advanced Class students will continue to receive private lessons from Coach Wang (sabre/foil) and Coach Sun (foil), and their fee will be $30 for a 25 minute lesson.
