for entries to Nationals before the obscene triple rates kick
in. If you are going to nationals, let me know so I can plan my time there.
24th is our Stab-a-thon. Open foil and epee, and an unrated foil
event. The epee looks like it will be a solid B event. The open foil needs one more person to make it a C event. We need two more unrated foilists to crawl out of the woodwork so we can hand out an E for the uinrated event.

Marx, 8
time
US foil champion and 4 time Olympian (3 in foil and 1 in epee) will be
at the event as part of a clinic he is doing at NBS gym. He will be
coaching and assessing those fencers who are registered for the 3 day
version of the clinic. Cost for the 3 day version of the clinic is
$245,
for the two day version (no assessment or
coaching at our event, just the two day clinic in Raleigh) is $195. A rare opportunity to get coaching from someone at that level if you think you are ready for it.
No afterschool on the 26th since it is Memorial Day.
The
last day for this academic year’s afterschool will be Thursday, May
29th. It will be our standard end of year party. We will provide refreshments, but feel free to bring something if you want to share.
The last youth event will be that Saturday, the 31st, and we will
give the swords away at that event. Foil at 10 am, sabre at 1 pm, and epee at 3:30 pm.
June 14-15 is the Dave Crevar Memorial event at Raleigh. Y-12, Y-14, open foil and epee and a Div II sabre.
State
games are expanding to the entire weekend of the 21st -22nd of June this
year. See askfred for the schedule and entry information. Remember
you actually have to enter through the State Games website.
