Riverside Fencing Club
Olympic style sport fencing for beginners to national champions
Operations are limited due to COVID-19
Emergency and Weather-related Closures Reminder
In case of inclement weather, or other emergency:
Members will receive an email; AND
We will post a notice on the club's web page (www.RiversideFencingClub.com) (This page); AND
We will post on the club's Facebook page (www.Facebook.com/Riverside.Fencing.Club).
We will do our best to put notices out by 1:00 pm on the day of a class at the latest, or at least 1.5 hours prior to the start of class in the case of classes that start earlier in the day.
If there is no notice, you may assume that the club will be open.
Note: we are not tied to school or other closures. If schools are closed for weather, we may still be open the same day.
Even if the club is open, in the case of inclement weather, I make the decisions about whether to open the club or not based on conditions near where the club is. Since weather conditions may be quite different where you are, please use your own best judgment as to whether it is safe for you to travel to and from the club.

Due to expected inclement weather, the club will be closed today, Monday Feb 1, 2021. All classes and lessons are canceled.
The temporary closure announced Jan 29 is still in effect, also, so this announcement, while apparently moot, simply means that the club will remain closed today, even if it is otherwise possible to resume in-person activities at the club.
January 29, 2021: In-person activities temporarily suspended
Following the procedures outlined in our COVID-19 Era Procedures and Policies document, Riverside Fencing Club is temporarily suspending all in-person operations, effective immediately.
