Ah, the sabre begins to look a bit more promising!

I have sent out an email to all of the sabre fencers in my area, attempting to cozen them into attending. No replies as yet. Typical.

[hpfencing]

it would be great if you could bring a few people up.... I've been in contact with a coach in Albuquerque, NM who is gong to bring up some more sabre fencers so the sabre could end up much, much larger.....


Hope everyone thinks about coming!

I thought Daisy Flores (Gilkner?) was exclusively epee??

[Inquartata]

Nope. She actually started in foil, I believe. But epee is her primary these days.

[hpfencing]

So are ya'll talking about coming up and fencing? We'd love a few people from yor area to attend....... It's going to be an swesome event...

I'm working with Swordmasters to try to get them to come out and set-up now and I think they will be there! Someone from NY CIty registered last night!

[hpfencing]

Tournament is still growing. http://www.hpfencing.com

We had someone from NY City register last week and I have peopel from Califonia and Nevada that seem very interested as well.

I'm been asked in another threat about an airport..

AMarillo has a great airport tha most flights go through DFW to get here. Most htoel have a shuttle service from the hotel and a shuttle service to the venue.... The Amarillo Civic Center; Regency Conference Arena.

Hope that helps some of you with your plans.

We are moving the registration form and pre-registration list to Askfed.net. It seems to be prefered by a lot of fencers.

Please note that not all the registrations will be moved at once. We are having to mannually type them and it may take a little while to get them all on but they should all be on at some point today.

I hope this helps everyone out.

WOW, I am impressed this is going to be the biggest event our area has ever seen. I am excited; the Amarillo Civic Center. WOW, I don't even wnata know how you pulled that one off!

Matt, I think you are doing a great job at organizing and setting up this event. I wish we had the organization skills at Amarillo College Fencing Association to do the same level tournament. We miss yo at ACFA. I cannot wait till the big day. I hope lots more from out of town sign up. I think it'll grow by leaps and bounds now that Bill Oliver is coming in and it's on AskFred.

Great job, see you at the event!

[hpfencing]

Thanks for teh encouragement..... COuld you pull all the AC people out of the barn they are hiding in. There are around 15-20 of them and only 4 have pre-registered........

[acfencing]

Our numbers are down at ACFA right now *in-between semmesters) but the flyers were handed out, I think.

[hpfencing]

Thanks for the info, I hope a few of the Amarillo College fencers take advantage of this opportunity and to not travel and fence high level fencers.

Hope everyone else does too maybe with some travel.....

[hpfencing]

[acfencing]

The event is getting really big, I am scared to fence in it, there are sooo many good people coming.

I hear epee may end up turning into an A3 event

[hpfencing]

Although the event is getting bigger it is still fencing. You will do fine. Thanks for pushing the AC crowd into signing up.. I hope there are not too many problems there. I have nocite very few AC people going to events recently.

[acfencing]

Thanks for showing me the "stuff" last night. How did you become so orgainized. YOur orgianizational notebook and set-up is awesome.
