KIm Phillips tied for 3rd yesterday at the Tiger Open at Clemson. This was in a field of 68 sabre fencers, so he had a long day.
A lot of things going on, so we will have some alterations to the schedule for the next few weeks.
St.
Mary’s Fall Festival is October 27th, so we will be shut down a bit
this week. On Tuesday night we will be pulling the overheads down after practice, so they will not be in the way of the Haunted House. We will have the homeschool practice as our last event on
Webesday. No afterschool or evening practice Wednesday or Thursday.

I have a demo scheduled with the YWCA at 4 pm on Wednesday. If you might be interested in helping, let me know. We will meet out there.
Class on board Camp Lejeune Friday will end this beginner session. There will also be class at Topsail Friday.
October 28th is the Ryder Cup sabre event at Mid-South. Cadet, Junior, and Senior sabre events. I don’t see any of our fencers signed up. The Div 1A should be at least a B1 event.
Also
the 28th is the first homeschool tournament of the year, up at New
Bern. If you are interested in fencing for the homeschjool league, you
need to sign up with the Southeastern Cardinals and let me know. It looks like they will be playing the A League age rules closer to what the other sports are. That means our team may end up being a B for this one.

We will need to get the overheads back up on Tuesday, October 31.
Camp Lejeune’s next beginner class will start at 7 pm on Friday, November 3rd.
November
4th is the first NCFL meet of the year and we are hosting it. As
always help refereeing, setting up, armoring, managing is appreciated. I am not certain what the number
of teams will be yet, but it looks a little down from previous years.
Starts at 10 am and finishes as soon as we can get done. If you are not
part of an official high school fencing club, or are still in middle school,
there are B division teams. There will certainly be B division teams
in foil, and hopefully epee. Start letting me know if you are
interested. You do need a full uniform, but we can lend you what you
need. Looks like Hoggard will have a team. Ashley maybe. There are certainly enough other foil fencers that we can put together a B team or two.

For
those of you who would rather fence than referee, Charlotte is holding
Women’s epee, and Open epee events that day. The open epee might get to an A.

On Thursday, November 9, at 4 pm at CFCC’s Union Station, Cuccalorus will be screening “Under the Mask,” Alex
Hoelscher’s film about Erica Julien’s journey to last year’s World
Veteran Championships. Tickets are $10. Afterschool is cancelled for that day as I would like to go and see the film and support Alex and Erica. It would be great to have a large contingent of fencers there. Afterwards there is a gathering for the film makers and film goers at Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. Therefore, evening practices will also be cancelled.

Topsail has no school on Friday, November 10th, so no practice. Most of the Camp Lejeune fencers also have plans for that date, so no practice on board the base that Friday either.
Our
next event will be on Veteran’s Day, November 11th. Current numbers
are 9 open epee, 2 open foil, and 4 E and under foil. Figuring that there will be some local press surrounding Erica and Cuccalorus, I would love to invite the press, but I cannot do so with those numbers. We will also be holding the “official” fencing celebration for Erica at Satellite after the event ends. GET SIGNED UP NOW!
