Ten Thousand Fencers

[anotheranon]

We've started a campaign to get ten thousand new people to try fencing. We thought about getting the whole country fencing, but our advisors told us to start small.

If you've ever jousted with a stick, whiffle ball bat, or any other item with your friends then you have fenced! If you had fun, then come learn what this sport is all about.

As it is, I'm not sure what their recruitment strategy is beyond putting up this site. Supporting clubs are a good thing, but I've found that most non-fencers don't even know that there are clubs in their area. Short version, pending further info - I think they're preaching to the choir.

I'm hopeful (because doG knows, I evangelize every chance I get, and many times when I don't :P), but skeptical.

I've been contemplating checking out the Purdue fencing club in the fall, once we get moved and I can consider local extra-curricular activities.

Definitely get the move finished first, and feel free to drop me a line if you decide to take it up, have questions, etc.
