Snickerdoodles Open

This is our traditional club holiday event, consisting of an open-open fencing tournament (any age, any rating), and a judged competition in making our favorite holiday cookie - SNICKERDOODLES! FENCING TOURNAMENT ================== The fencing tournament is not sanctioned. Everyone is invited to compete. This is our in-club event, but all of our friends with home base in other clubs are welcome. Fencing starts at 10 AM. We'll be there at 9:30 in case you'd like to warm up a bit first. Finals in both senior and junior events are fenced with mask lights, very much like the finals of the World Championships and the Olympic Games! Club's fencing equipment - jackets, masks, gloves, and epees - is available to all, at no charge. We'll give holiday-appropriate prize (who said "gift card to a chocolate factory"?) for the best senior, and the best youth performance. SNICKERDOODLES BAKE-OFF ======================= Your inner baker is challenged to a home-made snickerdoodles judged competition. If you bring snickerdoodles, limit one entry per family, please. Bring 3-5 for judging, and some for others to taste. The winner gets prestigious title "Delta Fencing cookie master" for 2016, and a highly-sought responsibility to preside over the next years bake-off. It is club's favorite holiday cookie, after all. Events Scheduled: Senior epee: men and women, 13-and-above Youth-under-14 epee: boys and girls, 14-and-younger We'll also have an 10-and under event, if there is enough fencers interested. Event fees: =========== Fencing event only: $10 Fencing event, with snickerdoodles entry: $5 (hopefully this encourages you in case you were questioning your inner baker) There is additional $10 fee for those not currently signed up (not attending trainings & classes in December) Preregistration is open until the Friday, Dec 30 2016.
