We had the advanced epee camp last week, which I hope has convinced at least a couple of people that they need to get out and compete. This week’s last camp will be a second advanced foil camp. Not as large as the first one. Downside, not as many people to fence. Upside, more time with the coach.
A regular week of practice. Tuesday evening, Thursday
evening, Friday night at Camp Lejeune, and Saturday morning.

Don’t forget that the August 1st date for renewing both your USA Fencing and club memberships is fast approaching. Actually, it’s here.
Mid-South
has their Big Blue tournament on August 11-12. Men’s and Women’s
events in all three weapons. The men’s epee is already a strong A, needs bodies to be an A2 Men’s foil is a C and needs another B & C to become a B. The men’s sabre needs an A, a C (or higher), and a body to become an A. On the women’s side, the epee needs one D or better and a couple of bodies to be a C. The foil looks like it will stay a medium sized lower level event. And strangely, for a Mid-South event, the women’s sabre only has two entrants. It is up on askfred.net.

Also, it is about that
time of year when I purge the lists of people we haven’t seen in a
while. If that is you and you want to keep receiving these, please let
me know. Conversely, if I should remove you from the emails, let me
know that as well.
