CFFA update 5/24
Large turnout for the Stab-a-thon.  We had 29 in epee (a B2) and 23 in foil (a B1), but only 3 in the unrated foil.  We had fencers from as far away as Florida and Indiana.  If we start drawing these kind of numbers and fencers for events, you are all going to have to practice much harder or you will be the cannon fodder.

1. Bryce Bogert    Unattached
2. Whit Stewart   Knights of Siena

Thanks to everyone who helped with running, setting up, and reffing the event.


No afterschool on the 26th since it is Memorial Day.  No Wednesday night practice until after Labor 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.  Anyone wanting to volunteer as a referee is appreciated.

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

this year.  See askfred for the schedule and entry information. 
Remember you actually have to enter through the State Games website.  Deadline is June 14th.

pax vobiscum,
