Last CFFA update for 2016

Last CFFA update for 2016
Captain Phillips finished the year in good style, winning the Last Chance Open sabre event at RTF today.
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.  It looks like the earliest dates are in April that are not taken already.

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.
Have a happy New Year.  Don’t call me for bail money.

pax vobiscum
