A clever system/arrangement and, I trust, a successful one.

Our first all-girl practice session went very well. We had seven girls for almost all of the two hours--it should pick up as the word gets out---and Augie's seven strips were plenty to keep up with the fencing. Augie, of course, took a well deserved night off. The floor time was FREE and we provided free drinks, snacks and pizza-- plus there were brownies, etc. brought by attending fencers--all present enjoyed the fencing, food and company. This is a great opportunity for girls to practice and socialize in a relaxed, casual setting. I know that this sport is full of people with much more experience than me---so please email us with any suggestions. We would like this to be a rotating event, but until other clubs participate, it will be held at Katy Blades. Contact info: GulfCoastgfa@comcast.net

They are fencing and they are having fun? I wouldn't worry about changing anything just yet. It sounds like you have a good beginning.
