CFFA update for June 16

CFFA update for June 16
We had a couple of people compete over the weekend.  Erica Julien competed in The Dave Crevar Memorial in Raleigh and Josh Harvey took 2nd at an epee tournament in Richmond.  Not certain how that event ended up, but it looked to be a B event from the preregistration.

Last week of practice before Nationals and the State Games, so hopefully things will be busy on Tuesday and Thursday night.  I will be in around 5 pm for those looking for a little extra practice.  Hopefully we can finish up with the last couple of beginners this week.

I
have a demonstration lined up at Giggles at 2 pm on Thursday, June
19th.  If you might be available to help, please let me know.  Anyone in any weapon is fine.

Friday will finish up this set of classes at Camp Lejeune.

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.  An approximate who is coming is on askfred.net.
The Y-12s all look like they will have about 6 fencers, The women’s
events should all be Es, in the case of foil, a pretty wicked E.  The
epee is a B2.  The foil and sabre are C1s and foil might become either a C2 or B1.

I’ll be away to Nationals from June 21 until July 3 or 4.  The club will be open on at least Tuesdays and Thursday probably around the usual 7 – &:15 pm time.  Camp Lejeune won’t
meet on
June 27 or July 4 and the new session will begin July 11.

The camps this year are:  Beginning Fencing  July 14
-18
Advanced epee   July 21 – 25  Advanced foil July 28 – August 1  Advanced sabre August 7 – 11
I want to get the T-shirt order in this week, so please let me know who is coming and their size if you haven’t already.  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.

I’ll probably being doing periodic updates once Nationals start.  For those of you who want the fastest information, go to the USA Fencing website usfencing.org, click Events, then click All Results, click Nationals, and then click the event you want to see.  They have the pretty much real-time results at that location.
