I will be away for a bit. Herman and Brendan are planning to have practice on this Tuesday night. I should be back in time for practice next Tuesday. Nothing else until we gear back up for 2015.
Looking
at the New Year, the next homeschool meet is January 3rd at Oak Ridge.
For adults there is the Hangover in Richmond. It is usually a large
event with each weapon being an A in the opens and with separate strong
women’s events. Sign up on askfred before December 28th, after that the fees jump a great deal.

The
10th is the first NCFL meet of 2015, at Kestrel Heights. Harry and
Will could really use a third fencer if anyone is interested.

The
17th is our first adult event of the New Year. With this one we are
bringing back the one touch epee event in addition to the open foil and
epee. All of our spring events are now up on askfred, so start getting
signed up. There isn’t much to compete with on many of our weekends, so if we can get our folks signed up we can probably attract out of town fencers. If it looks like thee will not be anyone competing, people will stay home.

The
18th is a homeschool event. I have permission to hold it aboard Camp Lejeune.. In addition to the homeschool teams, I am going to try to have
a meet with women’s foil teams and mixed epee teams in the morning. The epee and women’s foil would start about 11 am and the homeschool will be at 1 pm. These would all be for high school age and
below fencers and you would need a full uniform. We will loan you
knickers (if we have them in your size) and underarm protectors. No
cost to fence and we can always make composite teams. I will need to know who would be driving so you can get a pass to get on base.

The next set of Camp Lejeune classes should start on the 23rd.
The 24th will be our first 12 and under event for 2015. $5 entry, Foil at 10 am, sabre at 1:30 pm, epee at 2:30 pm.
The 31st is the second NCFL meet of January, location yet to be decided.
Merry Christmas/ Happy Hannukah/ Joyous Kwanzaa/ or a rollicking Winter Solstice to all.
