I hope everyone is safe and dry inside somewhere. I thought I should go ahead and send this out in case the power goes down later.

Erica Julien will be competing at the World Championships in Germany on October 12th. I will keep you posted as to her results.
Our
next event is Saturday, October 15th, Open foil, Open epee, and a D and
under epee. Right now we are in exactly the same quandary as we were for the last event. We have 10 in the epee, 6 in the D & under epee, and 5 in the foil. We have no idea how many referees we will need. Patrick Lausi and Robert Mones have both pulled out, probably because it didn’t look to be worth the drive up. Please sign up well ahead of time if you are coming.

St.
Mary’s Fall Festival is Friday night, October 21. Our space
traditionally becomes the Haunted House for the event. We will take the
overheads down after Tuesday’s practice. Homeschool fencing will meet
on Wednesday, October 19, but there will be no afterschool or evening
fencing for either Wednesday or Thursday.

October 22nd is an epee event in Charlotte for Y-14, women’s and open events.
October
22nd will also be our next youth event. It is earlier than I
would have liked, but the schedule from that date until January is
extremely crowded. I will truncate the classes now in
progress so that those youngsters will be ready to participate.

That means that the foil could be very large. Any help with refereeing is appreciated. Foil at 10 am, sabre at 1:30 pm, and epee at 3:30 pm.
The
JO qualifiers are now up on askfred. They will be on the weekend of
the 29-30 and the times are set. The division is still looking to lock
down a location. The actual event is in Kansas City next year on
President’s Day weekend. Not real close, but not too far away. Entry deadline before the fees go up is 10/23.

We
will be hosting the first NCFL meet of the season on November 5th.
This tends to be a huge event and we can use help. The A division is
comprised of official high school teams or clubs and will have divisions
for men’s foil, women’s foil, and mixed epee this year. The B division
has junior high and up fencers and they compete as mixed foil teams.
It can be B teams from the high schools, junior high teams, or fencers
can compete under a club banner. Any of our fencers attending a public
school (junior high and up) can compete. Let me know if you need gear
as everyone must compete in a complete uniform.
