I don't agree that SOAS is anything special. It's a non-central
location. AFA/BFA had to provide their own floor? There are no shower
facilities. At times, lighting is dismal. The electricity is often on
the fritz, which we can only hope hasn't damaged the score boxes. And
has anyone else seen the sign on the front door about car break-ins?
I can handle an increase in cost to fence (I'm teaching a class this
fall specifically for fencing $), but pay twice as much for more of the
same? No thanks. I'd strongly be in favor of moving.
As for needing recruitment efforts... exactly how many epeeists and
foilists has BFA contributed to the tuesday/thursday fencing pool thus
far? My count is a total of 1, possibly accidental?
