Dear Veteran Fencer, The Clear Lake Fencing Club and I would like to invite you to attend the 6th Annual Fête de Lune Veterans Fencing Tournament. The tournament will be held on Saturday, August 28, 2004, in Houston, Texas, at the Johnson Space Center’s (JSC’s) Gilruth Center. |
|
The Fête de Lune will consist of Mixed Foil, Épée, and Saber competitions. Awards will be given for the top three fencers in the mixed events, the top three women in each of the mixed events, and for the top three in the age categories of 40’s, 50’s, and 60’s and above. There will also be a grand prize awarded to the fencer with the best placement in all three weapons. All awards will be presented at our Awards Banquet, which will take place immediately following the fencer with the best placement in all three weapons. The schedule and pre-registration is also available on www.askfred.net .
Registration is $50 for the first weapon and includes one banquet dinner. Each additional weapon is $10. Additional banquet dinners are $30 per person. Registration for those unable to attend the banquet is $30 for the first weapon.
After fencing, showers and lockers are available for your use at JSC’s Gilruth Center. If you wish to use the showers at the Gilruth Center, please bring soap and a towel. You may also choose to return to your nearby hotel room before attending the Awards Banquet.
The tournament venue is located near several hotel and motel chains on NASA Road One. Those requiring this information can email me and I will send the requested list.
The Fête de Lune will take place on the same weekend as the Ballunar Liftoff Festival, which annually attracts nearly one hundred balloon teams. This tends to provide some interesting sights for participants and guests.
For anyone flying into Houston, we recommend arriving at Hobby Airport. An arrival at Bush Intercontinental Airport will more than double the driving time to the venue.
The Fête de Lune is one of a handful of veterans' tournaments held each year in the Southwest Section. We hope that our friends who have joined us in the past will be able to make the trip to Houston again. We also hope that those who have not yet joined our familiar group will take the opportunity to meet and fence with our illustrious guests.
For those who would like more information, please email me.
Best of Fencing to you,
Nicole Trojanowski, President, CLFC
