We had a really large turn out for Jacksonville Friday night. It seems like people are at the point where they want to get some normalcy.
At the Fairfax Challenge yesterday, Nicole Milewski went 5-1 and came out number 1 in her pool. Unfortunately she dropped a close first DE and finished 17th. She received some National Points. She has fenced maybe 2-3 times in the last six weeks, so a good showing.

(wisely) didn’t send in the order that people were putting together
right before Florence. If you want or need something get us what you
want by this Wednesday. That would mean we can get it here by our first
adult event.

Next
week afterschool will get started back. Topsail should get back into
the swing of things (I will double check with the school). Homeschool
will continue to meet at 4:30 pm until I know what is up with St. Mary. Evening beginner classes will continue. I believe the UNCW fencers will start coming down this Wednesday evening.

On
10/13, I would like to try to have our first 12 and under event for the
season. Foil at 10 am, Epee at 2 pm, sabre at 3:30 pm. Volunteer help for foil refereeing (and epee/sabre) is welcome.

My mistake last week, October 17th is the last day for
regular fees if you want to go to the December Cincinnati NAC. It has
Div I, Div II, and Vet events.

Our
new first adult event is scheduled for October 20th. Open epee, open
foil, and a D and under foil. Right now still the first large
sanctioned event in the Division since Florence. Need a few more bodies and some higher ranks to get all the events rated above an E.

October 27th has the Tiger Open at Clemson. This is a large regional event that usually has all three opens be A level events. They also have D and under events that usually end up being C2 level. Check askfred.net for more info.
Apex is also holding a number of unsanctioned events that date. A couple of aged events and adult Women’s foil, Men’s foil, and Mixed epee.
We will be holding an NCFL meet on Saturday, November 3. With all that is going on I am not certain what the number of teams and levels will be. I would guess probably 6-8 A foil teams for both men and women. Probably that for foil B teams. I know a number of our fencers have been trying to get clubs up and running, but have had their efforts delayed by Florence. If we have people who want to fence but don”t have a team, and you are at least in middle school, we can put together B teams under the CFFA banner. You will need a full uniform and we will help with that as much as we can. Epee fencers also compete as B teams currently, so we can try to get a team (or more) together for that. As always, refereeing, armoring, managing help from the club is greatly appreciated.
Homeschoolers are not allowed to compete in the NCFL. I am supposed to hear from Tammy Reid regarding the homeschool information sometime today and will put out a note to the homeschoolers when I get it.
November 10th is the Harry Rulnick event in Fayetteville. It has open Men’s and Women’s foil. Check askfred for more info.
