Doing the update a little early because tomorrow (Sunday the 6th) is the last day to get entries into the epee events in Charlotte and the ROC in Fredericksburg PAID for. Fees jump on the 7th for both events. We have some people fencing at events tomorrow so I will probably update their results on Monday.
After
Labor Day we will get back to working in earnest. Afterschool classes
for returning fencers will start on the 8th. The new beginners will
start
the week of the 14th.

Homeschool classes will start back on the 9th – advanced fencers can come in at
12:30 pm, new beginners at 1 pm.
Armory night on Thursday. You can still come in and fence instead. However, if you have any weapons, bodycords, etc. that need fixing we will all be around to tell you how to do this. We will bring in some fencing things to watch. If you just want to learn how to fix some things we can probably find club things that need work.
We will hold our first youth tournament on the 12th of
September. Twelve and under fencers can compete. We give trophies to
the top 3 and ties overall and medals to the top 3 9 and
under fencers unless they win a trophy. We also award swords to the
top male and female points earners over the course of the season
(probably 5 events). Finally, we give a sword to the person who is
voted as showing the most sportsmanship by the other fencers
over the course of the season. $5 per event with foil at 10 am, sabre
at 1:30 pm, and epee at 3:30 pm. If adults are not going to the other
events, volunteer referees are welcome.

Our
first adult event will be Saturday, September 19th. Open foil at 9:30
am, Open epee
at 1:30 pm, E and under sabre at 3:30 pm. All of our events are mixed
unless otherwise specified. $20 for your first event, $10 for any
subsequent event. Make certain your US Fencing membership is a
competitive one or higher. Sign up on askfred now to try and
draw in more fencers. We really need to see more of our people jumping in and getting signed up. Half of what we need for epee and not even enough for an E event in foil and sabre.

Sunday the 20th is Mixed epee and Mixed sabre at UNC. Epee needs a B to make it an A event and sabre looks like a C, if it gets more bodies.
September
26-27 is the Division 1A ROC in Fredericksburg. 1A means that it is
open to everyone, the events are split as men’s and women’s, and most of
the events will end up as A level. This is a good event for those of
you looking for a step up in competition, or planning to get ready for
the NACs that will be in the area this season. A few more of our people are getting signed up.
