Brad Baker, aka oiuyt has posted the following on Fencing Net:
I've attached the agenda for the upcoming BoD meeting. Additionally I've attached the 2008-2009 budget report and proposed 2009-2010 budget, as well as the draft minutes from the February meeting.
One error of which I'm aware in the agenda is the 2nd second hearing item. This was moved to urgent and voted upon at the February meeting and therefore shouldn't appear here.
Motion (Mr. Baker): To adopt rules changes to reflect a change in the target area in foil to include a portion of the lower bib, matching the current rules in effect for FIE competition. The effective date of these rules changes will be August 1, 2009 for all national tournaments and qualifiers to national tournaments. The effective date of these rules changes will be August 1, 2010 for all other competitions at all levels governed by the rules of US Fencing.
Rationale: Now that the new target area has actually gone into use internationally it appears significantly less likely that there will be additional near-term modifications to these rules. It is important that US Fencing stay in sync with the rules used in fencing in the rest of the world.
While it is noted that there are significant costs to retrofitting existing equipment, this is a cost which is unavoidable if we wish to remain in conformity with the most recent developments in the sport.
"A classical fencer is supposed to be one who observes a fine position, whose attacks are fully developed, whose hits are marvelously accurate, his parries firm and his ripostes executed with precision." - Louis Rondelle

schlager7: A lot of clubs won't go younger than 10 or 12, but a few take students as young as 7. (I know because there are competitions for youth 8 & under at some tournaments).
