We had a solid practice Saturday morning with about a dozen fencers. As the tournaments thin out over the summer, Saturday morning practice will become the norm.
Regular week of practice this week.
Our
next event will be the Stab-a-thon this Saturday. The epee is shaping up
nicely, already a B1, and only needs another A to become an A event.
The foil needs a C and bodies to be a C. The sabre should be an E. If you haven’t, get signed up early this week. Please don’t wait until the last minute.

2nd will be the last Youth event for the season. We will give the

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.

Summer
camps will go 9 am to 5 pm Monday to Thursday and 9 am to 3 pm Friday.

If you are attending, please let me know so I can plan the curricula
and tell me your T-shirt size so I can order them. Camp dates are:
