Hey All!
I'm pretty new on here, so I thought I'd say hi to you all and let you know I exist. I've only been fencing for about a year off and on. I get distracted easily, so I tend to stop training for long periods at a time, but I plan to start competing in a year or less, so I've decided to continue indefinitely this time. I fence foil and LOVE it!
If you're in Chicago, drop me a line...I'd love to bout with you or just talk about fencing!

| Dear Sharky,
Welcome to the forum -- if a lurker can say that. Are you actually in the city, or in the Chicago area? Which club are you at?
