On Saturday, June 18, 2016, the West Point Grey community will once again be celebrating Fiesta Days. This year, we will be participating in the annual parade and performing a demonstration on the main stage at Trimble Park. We will also be doing some free fencing by the baseball diamond at the northwest corner of the park from the end of the parade until 11:00am. This will also be an opportunity for members of the community to observe what we do and ask any questions they may have about classical fencing.
Following the parade, we will also be holding Movie Day back at OLPH. During Movie Day, we will not only be reviewing recorded footage from this year’s Mock Tournament and Concours Internationaux but will also screen a swashbuckling film. Concurrently, we will also be hosting a potluck lunch so please bring food or beverages to the event. Our club Secretary Ms. Andrea Maru (Avi’s mom) has kindly volunteered to provide plates, cutlery & napkins and has setup a link to coordinate items being brought. Please click here to view the link and let us know what you’ll be bringing as well as see what other members are planning to bring.
Below is the planned schedule for the day:
9:00am - Gather at the OLPH gym to drop-off fencing bags and check attendance
9:15am - Walk from OLPH gym to parade rallying point at W.12th Ave. & Blanca St.
