CFFA update for December 26

CFFA update for December 26
I am back and planning to come in Tuesday and Thursday nights if anyone wants to come in and practice or try out your new equipment.  I will also come in on Saturday morning about 10 am.  There doesn’t seem to be enough time to try to get the floor done, so we are putting that on hold.
RTF
is hosting foil and sabre events on the 31st of December to close out
the year.  The foil will be a B with more bodies and the sabre looks to
be a solid competition but may not reach the numbers for much of a rating.

After
the beginning of the New Year the club will start back up on
the 3rd.  The next homeschool class will start on the 4th.

The next beginner class at Camp Lejeune starts on January 6th.  We will have some new people moving up to the advanced group.

The
7th is the first NCFL meet of 2017, at Kestrel Heights.  We hope to add
a New Hanover men’s team at that event.  That also means that Will and
Harry will be looking for new B team members.  Talk to me if you are
interested.

Afterschool
will start back up on the 9th with a beginner class as well as
returners.  The next evening set of beginner classes will start on January 10th at 6:30 pm.

January 14th will be the next Homeschool meet, also in Elk Ridge.
No afterschool on January 16th as it is MLK Day.

January
21-22 is the Hangover Open in Richmond.  They have large opens, women’s
events, and D and under events.  The entry deadline through askfred is
January 8th.

I missed that there is an NCFL meet on January 2st.  It is the individual conference qualifiers to the individual championships. 
Therefore we cannot hold a youth event on the 21st.  I will look for possible dates in the next few days.

The
next home USA Fencing event will be the Old Man Winter on January
28th.  Open Foil, Open epee, and Vet 40+ epee.  Andrew Fullmer is
already in the epee, so with a good number of people we should be able
to attract a second A.  If we get our Vets signed up that could turn
into a C or B event.  Start getting signed up now.

pax vobiscum
