November adult beginner class starts Monday, November 2nd. The new set
of afterschool classes will also start this week, Monday through
Thursday. The next set of homeschool beginner classes will start on
November 4th. Help get the word out.
7th is the first Homeschool League meet, out at Mustang Fitness in Oak Ridge. It will start at 11:30 am. If you want
to fence, all of your information to be on the team needs to be to the
Southeastern Cardinals by November 1. Make certain I know who is interested as I have to turn in a roster as well. It looks like we will have one A team for the foil this season. I haven’t heard from any epeeists.
is also a college meet at Greensboro on the 7th for UNCW. No adult events yet listed for the area.
14th is the first NCFL meet and we will be hosting. This is a very
large high school foil event and we need all the volunteer referees we
can pull. A
number of you did this previously and it will be time to give back. I
need to get an idea of who wants to participate, 6th grade and up.
Hopefully we can field two B teams, plus Hoggard and Coastal Christian.
The men’s and women’s “A” teams are split, so I am not yet certain how
that will affect the number of teams. “B” teams can still be coed.This will use the gym and basement and will start at 10 am. For younger fencers, this would be a good event to come watch.
21st and 22nd is JOs at Research Triangle Charter School near Durham.
Saturday is for the junior events and Sunday is for the cadet events.
If you qualify for the junior event and are young enough to be a cadet
you automatically are qualified for the cadet. The JOs are in Cleveland
over the Presidents day weekend in February. Even for those of you do not intend
to go to the JOs, these are good events in which to participate. You do need to be signed up by the 20th. Right now Samantha Milewski is our only fencer who is signed up.
