| At the printers: 2005 Fencing Calendar
You can view the Fencing.Net Store listing for the new 2005 Fencing Calendar at: http://www.fencing101.com/catalog/pr...roducts_id=113
Serge Timacheff at FencingPhotos.com and I have collaborated to put together a great calendar for 2005. We initially wanted to take some of Serge's excellent Olympic photos, but sadly the IOC doesn't let any images from the Olympics get used in such commercial projects without a great deal of involvement.
Luckily for us, Serge has a huge catalog of great photos from various World Cups, World Championship events, and large regional events such as the Duel in the Desert.
You can see low-res samples of the photos chosen for the calendar. I'll have them back from the printers and ready to ship out by December 16th so that they will arrive in time for Christmas for those in the US.
Cheers,
Craig |

| There will be overseas delivery, but it can't be guaranteed in time for Christmas.

| I notice you succumbed to social pressure and included a few foil and saber photos. That's too bad.
Except for that problem, it's looks to be a delightful product. | |

It may be that the simultanious pressure from foil and sabre was discounted while that which came from epee remained valid. | |

| A spell checker for Firefox can be found here: here (Spellbound)
You can also get a spell check plug in for IE but as I don't recommend IE ... | |

The only ROW an epeeist knows is the one he violates to get to his tourney on time. Accursed 9am starts... | |

If you fenced sabre, you could show up at noon or 1300... because our bouts don't take an hour a piece...
A friend of mine (also a sabreur) once said that women's epee is better than no sleep at all....

| Now shipping!
The calendars arrived from the printer last night and they turned out great!
Everyone who has already ordered a calendar now has theirs in the main on the way.
I send these out via Priority Mail and have several more pre-kitted for quick turnaround.
Since Priority Mail takes 1 to 3 days depending on how far from Atlanta you live, there is still time to get them in time for Christmas.
Cheers,
Craig | |
