We had a couple of people compete over the weekend. Erica Julien competed in The Dave Crevar Memorial in Raleigh and Josh Harvey took 2nd at an epee tournament in Richmond. Not certain how that event ended up, but it looked to be a B event from the preregistration.
Last week of practice before Nationals and the State Games, so hopefully things will be busy on Tuesday and Thursday night. I will be in around 5 pm for those looking for a little extra practice. Hopefully we can finish up with the last couple of beginners this week.
I
have a demonstration lined up at Giggles at 2 pm on Thursday, June
19th. If you might be available to help, please let me know. Anyone in any weapon is fine.

Friday will finish up this set of classes at Camp Lejeune.
The
State Games are June 21-22 in Charlotte. It is expanding to two days
and adding specific women’s events. There are also Y-12 events and
opens in all weapons. An approximate who is coming is on askfred.net.
The Y-12s all look like they will have about 6 fencers, The women’s
events should all be Es, in the case of foil, a pretty wicked E. The
epee is a B2. The foil and sabre are C1s and foil might become either a C2 or B1.
