Pleasant
youth event at the club yesterday. Kiearon Marshall of WFC won the 12
and under foil. Izzy LaCorte of our Topsail branch was 2nd. Evan Cherry
and Jackson Jones, both of Topsail tied for 3rd. In the 9 and under
division, John Alexander took gold, Lou Lightner took silver, and Boyd
Sprague (all CFFA) took bronze. In epee, it was Nyc Baynes 1st, Amelia
Alexander 2nd, and Eamon O’Brien 3rd (all CFFA). Boyd is still looking
for someone to come and fence him in sabre. Many thanks to Paul Perkins
and Herman Smith for helping make the tournament run.

Regular week of practice this week.
May 12th at Apex are sanctioned foil and epee events, split by gender. They are also having unsanctioned Y-10
and Y-12 foil. Right now the Women’s epee needs bodies to be at least a
C event, otherwise it will be a really nasty E. Foil looks to be a much more reasonable E event. Both Men’s foil
and epee should be A events, foil looks to be an A2.

We
will hold a junior high team event on May 12th. Fencers would need to
be between the fourth and eighth grades. Looks like at least a couple
of teams from Topsail. Possibly 2 teams from Raleigh and maybe one from New Bern. Probably a combo team with some St. Mary fencers. The format will be like the NCFL team events It will start at 11:30 am. Volunteer referees welcome, contact me if you are available.
May 19th is open epee and unrated foil at Charlotte. A bit too early to predict the field.
May
20th is a U foil at All-American. I will be going up to observe, but
at the moment the field is maxed out. If they have anyone drop out I
will let you know.

Our
next event will be the Stab-a-thon on May 26th. The epee is shaping up
nicely, already a B1. Foil and sabre are still very small.

June 2nd will be the last Youth event for the season. We will give the swords away after the events. Foil at 10 am, epee at 1:30 pm, sabre at 3:30 pm.
Also
on June 2nd, Apex is hosting a referee clinic that will set you up to
take the written referee test. It is written to be difficult so
attending a clinic like this is not only necessary, but very helpful.
It is listed on askfred (look under clinics) for more
details. If you have questions, ask me. They are then having
unsanctioned foil events on the 3rd so that the prospective referees can
be observed.

I have been given some
equipment to see if anyone might be interested. It looks to be in good
shape. It consists of a Blue Gauntlet fencing bag, a RH xsmall glove,
RH small glove, RH visconti 2 prong foil, a 2 prong body cord, small
foil mask, 34 RH jacket, and a set of knicker proportionate to that (I
cannot find an actual size in them.) If you are interested, let me
know. Taking best offer.
