Ashlea Kosikowski of WECT will be in Tuesday night to do a piece on the club. Would be nice to have a good turn out and most of you need to practice for the Stab-a-thon anyway. I told WECT practice starts at 7:45, but I don’t know when she will actually make it in.
Afterschool and homeschool are in their final two weeks of the season. For Wednesday and Thursday this week we will do something different, but I think you will enjoy it. Monday the 29th is Memorial Day, so no practice. On the 31st and June 1st we will have a year end celebration (plus fencing). You are welcome to bring something, but it isn’t a requirement.
The rest of this week should be regular practice, including Friday night at Camp Lejeune.
The Stab-a-thon will be held on Saturday, May 27. The epee is up to 30 people and will almost certainly go higher. Foil is up to 11 and it would be nice to get those last 4 entrants so we can give away rankings higher than an E. Sabre now has 8 people with 3 Es. One more E and 6 other people and we can give away a D to the winner. get signed up on askfred.
June
3 will be the last 12 and under youth event of the season. Foil at 10
am, sabre at 1:30 pm, and epee at 3:30 pm. Swords will be given out at
the end of the event or when someone reaches an insurmountable point
lead.

For
the adults, Matt Cox is doing a referee clinic in Richmond on the 3rd.
Attached to that is a Sunday event where the fencers will fence for
free in an attempt to pump up the numbers and ranks so that the referees
being observed can get ratings. The foil looks to crank up to a B1, the sabre is a strong E1, and the epee has 1 A and 1 U. See askfred for details on both.

June 10-11 is Mid-South’s last youth/U-19/U sabre event for the year. See askfred for details. The U-19 sabre looks decent and the adult U open needs bodies.
The
Powerade State Games are June 17-18 this year in the Winston Salem
area. Men’s, Women’s, and Y-12 events in all weapons.
The fees are a little higher at this point, but you can still get in at
pag.ncsports.org. Askfred is not the official site, so entering there
does not actually get you into the event. There is no on-site
registration this year, so that is important. Also, since askfred is
not official, events are usually a little bigger than what is listed on
askfred.
