Still, no one at the moment has
expressed an interest in sabre camp and I have some people interested in
the advanced foil that cannot make the first advanced foil week. If I don’t get some
interest in sabre this week, I will turn that week into a second advance foil
camp. Foilists could then attend whichever works better for them. So,
if you are interested and have not emailed me, please do so ASAP with
the camp(s) you wish to attend and your T-shirt size. Thanks.

This Tuesday, June 12th I will start having a summer practice for the younger set at
6:30 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We will go for about an hour and the
cost is $5 per time. Probably easier to do it this way as between nationals, etc., I will not be there some evenings.

The
Powerade State Games
are the weekend of June 16-17. Registration is now closed, but I have no idea what the events look like as far as numbers.

Richmond is having a Nationals tune up June 23-24. Epee is an A2 already, foil might become a B, there is a Div III foil, and a small open sabre. Details on askfred.
I will be away to Nationals for about 10 days, so no youth practices on June 28, July 3, or 5. They will restart on July 10. The club will be open on the regular Tuesday and Thursday (maybe Saturday mornings) during that stretch, unless the powers that be decide to try to repaint the floor. That may depend a lot on the weather report and the possibility of the floor getting flooded. It could be a sort of day by day decision, but if painting is decided upon, I am certain help will be welcomed.
Painting is a multi day process. One day to move stuff and clean the floor, one to tape and paint the light blue, one to tape and paint the dark blue, at least one day (probably more) to put layers of lacquer over the paint, and finally, putting everything back. Ergo, a lot of small bits of help is really useful. I will try to keep everyone informed.
