Competitions coming up for Cavs in the next few months are as follows:

• May 16th (at UWA) and 17th (at Belmont) WAFA Open #2
• June 27th and 28th at Belmont WAFA Cadet #3
• July 4th and 5th Activity Weekend at Cavs ECU venue - U/13, U/15, U/20 competitions and other informal competitions.

During this time, Cavs will require a strong force of willing support for help at this time.

We welcome people who can offer even a few hours of their time to assist.

Jobs such as DT duties, refereeing, scoring, timekeeping, hand judging, general running, moving equipment between venues.

Now is the time to PLEASE PUT YOUR NAME ON OUR DT BOARD at the club venue IF YOU ARE INTERESTED.

This will enable us to allocate teams to each comp so that individuals are not burdened.

AFF #2 National Open Tournament (Robyn Chaplin Memorial)

Attached please find the competition timetable, with information on accommodation options, for the 2009 AFF National Tournament #2, the Robyn Chaplin Memorial Tournament, to be held at Scotch College in Adelaide, South Australia, from 6 to 8 June 2009.

Please note that entries from State Associations close with the FencingSA (with copies also to the AFF) on Friday 22 May 2009. Where State Associations have set their own local closing dates for entries, they must ensure that entries are lodged with FencingSA and AFF no later than 22 May 2009.

The official entry form and instructions for lodging entries by State Associations will be circulated separately to State Associations.

The entry fees are $58 per individual entry for each event, except in Veterans events where one entry fee entitles a fencer to compete in other Veterans events. Late entry fees of $120 per individual entry for each event will be charged for entries received after the closing date (22 May 2009) and up to roll call on the day of the event.

The attached timetable should allow interested fencers to plan and make necessary travel arrangements taking advantage of any available discounted travel options.
