Hey, I am extremely new. I have always wanted to fence, but I have just found a fencing club near me. I know pretty much nothing, so I will probably only post if I have stupid questions to ask. lol Except maybe in the politics section. I know a little bit about that.

Schwump- welcome to the board and to fencing. I've gotta warn you though- you haven't done politics until you've done if in the fencing world- I'm sure others can elaborate more..... Enjoy your time here and on the piste

Welcome to the nuthouse Schwump. I think you will find it very exciting--fencing I mean. And the politics--oh the politics. They can go on for hours. Enjoy the sport. Lots of great people to meet.

Welcome to fnet and remember to protect your private regions in the politics section

Have fun!

Welcome and enjoy!

Thanks. lol I haven't done much exploring in the politics section yet, but I get the feeling it gets pretty ruff. lol

If you mean ruff in a good way, then definitely.

I tend to avoid that area, as well.

*sigh*

Fencing does not exist without a heavy dose of politics.

That is one of the first things I learned. Welcome!
