This is an important event for fencing in Perth.

We require MANY volunteers.

I would like to see every fencer at Cavs involved in this.

See 'Update in May'.

We have had a good start to the year and have consolidated a steady membership which bodes well for the year. We have between 20 and 40 fencers attending each session, most of them regular members. I believe the warm and friendly atmosphere at the club is the focal point of our success and is the reason many of our members are happy to volunteer assistance when required.

Cavs was excited to receive its first delivery of nudie Juice today.

The free supply of cold fresh fruit drinks created a great deal of interest from the members, many of whom had not tasted it before.

The general response was very positive, and it looks like nudie sales are about to take a sharp upward leap if our club has anything to do with it.

"How could something so healthy, taste so good?" (enthusiastic club member, Jerry Peng)

This is the first of several monthly deliveries which will take place until the end of the season.
