At the Hangover Open in Richmond Oliver Galbraith took 7th in the Mixed Open Foil, which was a B event. Joe McLaughlin took 8th in the D and under mixed sabre which ended up as a C event. Therefore Joe earned his E.
Our next home USA Fencing event will be the Old Man Winter on January
28th. Open Foil, Open epee, and Vet 40+ epee. Epee needs an another A
to be an A event, a B2 as it now stands. Still very few Vets signed up. The foil again looks
bare. Another opportunity
for low level foilists to get some experience and possibly a rating. Get signed up if you are interested, particularly in the open epee as there are not a lot of referees available and we need to have very accurate numbers early in the week.
