CFFA update for December 29

CFFA update for December 29
I hope every one is having a good holiday break.  I am back from Indiana and will be in to the club tonight about 7 pm for all of you who want to get out and try out your new equipment. or get ready for the Hangover.  No practice tomorrow or Thursday.  No practice at Camp Lejeune Friday.
Looking
at the New Year, the next homeschool meet is January 3rd at Oak Ridge. 
We may not have enough people for a team.  If we don’t, I will have practice about 10 am Saturday.  I will keep everyone informed.

For adults there is the Hangover in Richmond.  It is usually a large
event with each weapon being an A in the opens and with separate strong
women’s events. 

Afterschool
and a new beginner afterschool class will start on January 5th.  The
next adult beginner class will start on January 6th at 6:30 pm, with an
intermediate class to follow at 7:30 pm if anyone is interested. I do have a few people expressing interest in the beginner class.  The next
Homeschool beginner class will start on the 7th at 1 pm.

The
10th is the first NCFL meet of 2015, at Kestrel Heights.  Harry and
Will could really use a third fencer if anyone is interested.  We need to start touching base so we can figure out rides, etc.

The

17th is our first adult event of the New Year.  With this one we are
bringing back the one touch epee event in addition to the open foil and
epee.  All of our spring events are now up on askfred, so start getting
signed up.  There isn’t much to compete with on many of our weekends, so
if we can get our folks signed up we can probably attract out of town
fencers.  If it looks like thee will not be anyone competing, people
will stay home.  Right now the epee for the 17th looks to be solid, but the foil can use more bodies and ranks.


The

18th is a homeschool event.  I have permission to hold it aboard Camp
Lejeune..  In addition to the homeschool teams, I am going to try to
have
a meet with women’s foil teams and mixed epee teams in the morning. 
The epee and women’s foil would start about 11 am and the homeschool
will be at 1 pm. These would all be for high school age and
below fencers and you would need a full uniform.  We will loan you
knickers (if we have them in your size) and underarm protectors.  No
cost to fence and we can always make composite teams.  I will need to
know who would be driving so you can get a pass to get on base.


The next set of Camp Lejeune classes should start on the 23rd. This one looks like it will be a large class with a good mix of adults and younger beginners.

The 24th will be our first 12 and under event for 2015.  $5 entry, Foil at 10 am, sabre at 1:30 pm, epee at 2:30 pm.

The 31st is the second NCFL meet of January, location yet to be decided.
pax vobiscum,
