CFFA update for January 11

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 there will not be anyone competing, people
will stay home.  Right now the epee for the 17th looks to be solid B event, but the foilists need to get themselves signed in so we have more bodies and ranks.

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.  I think we will have some epee teams and individual women foilists from Lejeune.  I would hope we can put together some high school age and below women’s foilists and mixed epeeists so they have a variety of people with whom to compete. It looks like this will be the only meet with any crossover between the high school and home school leagues this year.  I will be asking people specifically so I can plan ahead.
