The Star News dropped by to do an article on Noah Garay fencing in college. They were going to try to get it in this Wednesday.
Had a good women’s epee practice Saturday morning.
This
week is summer hours. Practice Tuesday and
Thursday, I will be in about 5 as it looks like that works out better for some of the younger fencers.. Camp Lejeune Friday night.

June
14 -15 is the Dave Crevar Memorial up in Raleigh. Y12 and Y-14 events
plus Open foil and epee and a C and under sabre. The last event to warm
up before State Games or Nationals (or both), depending on where you are going. Check askfred for the details. Saturday’s epee needs a B and a few more bodies to be a B1.

We have the option of doing a Saturday 10 am practice or me going up to help fencers at the Crevar. Let me know what people prefer so I can plan.
I have a demonstration lined up at Giggles at 1 pm on Thursday, June 19th. If you might be available to help, please let me know.
The
State Games are June 21-22 in Charlotte. It is expanding to two days
and adding specific women’s events. There are also Y-12 events and
opens in all weapons. You have to sign up at ncsports.org, before the rates jump on June 14. An approximate who is coming is on askfred.net. The Y-12s all look like they will have at least 6 fencers, The women’s events should all be Es, in the case of foil, a pretty wicked E. The epee is a B1 and should make it to a B2. The foil and sabre should make it to C1s. The games want to borrow some of our equipment that I will need Friday night for Camp Lejeune. I will be heading to Columbus for the Nationals Saturday, so if there is someone going to State games early Saturday or from Lejeune, please let me know so we can get the equipment there.

Let
me know if you are coming so I can plan the level the camp needs to be
at and give me a T-shirt size so I can make that order. Also I will need some help on Fridays to look after the camp so I can head up to Lejeune. If you could come in about 3 pm on Friday and can lock up at 5 pm, please let me know.
