We
are looking at redoing the floor this summer. To have it ready for
camps we will use the week of July 4th. Volunteers who want to
paint or help with lacquering once painted are welcome. We may try to
do about 1/2 at a time so we can keep fencing. Hopefully we will not
have a cloudburst before the lacquer and paint are set this time. We will get the dates set and I will let people know when.

The
other volunteer task that we can use some help with is that it is that
time of year to try and get through all the jackets and wash them. Most
jackets can be machine washed, but then need to line dry. If you are
willing to help and can get them back quickly, let us know.

July 7 starts the next beginner class up on board Camp Lejeune.
Getting
closer to the camps, so please let me know if you are coming (if you
haven’t already). It helps me to plan for numbers and also to tailor
the camp to the level of those who will be attending.

Beginner Camp July 17-21
Advanced Foil July 24-28 Looks like it will be experienced but a touch younger fencers
Advanced Epee July 31-August 4 Experienced and older set, mostly
Advanced Sabre August 7-11 ???
The New Bern people will be coming back down on Saturday, July 22.
Early
next season is starting to shape up. The first weekend (August 5-6) is
an RJCC (Regional Junior Cadet Circuit) event in Greensboro. That
means that this event will give regional points for the southeast US,
but being this early in the season will probably attract fencers from
all over the country in the cadet and junior age groups. Cadet is ages
13-16 and junior is ages 13-19. This particular one is only foil and
epee. This makes it an excellent event for those of you in those age
groups who are looking to move up from local events. There are also
mixed adult foil and epee, but although they will probably be strong
events will not give regional points. Right now the adult epee looks like it will be an A and the foil has 0 fencers. Both sexes for cadet and the junior women’s event have a few fencers. The junior men’s epee looks to become an A and the junior men’s foil might become a B.

The
next week is Mid-South’s Big Blue. Epee will almost certainly be an
A. Sabre will be at least a B and should be an A. Right now foil is
all Us.
