Herman has put in the most recent order and is looking at the first week of February for the next order. Let him or me know if you want/need something.
Also, for those of you on the 6 month plan, the next installment for dues is February 1st.
A lot of fencing happened this weekend. On Saturday, we hosted the Homeschool League meet. Our Southeastern Cardinal A team of Phil Nazzaro, Kyler Schoonmaker, and Liam Coyle went 2-1. They defeated New Bern 45-31 and Twin City 45-36. They lost to Oak Ridge 40-45.
On Sunday, we had 3 teams go to the NCFL meet in Apex. The Hoggard men’s team of Will Golder and Andrew Whitehead went 2-2. Cammy Herbert was the Hoggard women’s team again, and you cannot win with just one fencer. It is hard to win with just two fencers. Will only lost one bout on the day. Also competing was the Ashley Women’s team. This was their first competition and they went 3-1, defeating Hoggard, Research Triangle, and Orange High Schools. They were led by founder Emma Graf.
Elina Grooman competed in her first USA Fencing event at Mid-South. She won a couple of pool bouts, but lost her first DE to the person who finished third. She came in at 10th.
January
27th is supposed to be the NCFL State team championship. I am
not certain of the location, but will keep you informed.

For adults Charlotte has an Open epee event and a U foil event on the 27th. The epee is currently an A event while the foil needs a couple of bodies to be rated.
Sunday,
January 28th, is an unrated, split by gender event up at All-American
in Fayetteville. Lots of spaces for women, only one for men. Men’s is listed as sanctioned, the women’s is not. See

Also
on Saturday the 10th is a foil and epee event in Charleston, South
Carolina. At the moment, a number of our fencers are planning to attend
and the epee looks to be at least a strong C event.

I am currently planning to be away to the Junior Olympics in Memphis over
the President’s Day weekend. We may
actually use this date as a make up for the Old Man Winter. If not, it will be a youth event. I will
keep you posted.
The Lynn Krupey
Memorial Iron Maiden (March 24). This is still the only 3 weapon event
Memorial Iron Maiden (March 24). This is still the only 3 weapon event
exclusively for women in the state, so it would be good to get our
people signed up
soon to draw other women. There is no reason the epee can’t be an A and
the foil and sabre at least have some kind of rating, but we need our women to get entered.
