to be in the background of a fencing scene. The pay rate is $150 for the day. I sounds like it will be a 1 day shoot. I have been told it will be sometime between September 5th and 16th. No information yet to narrow the date, location, and length of time you would be needed. It is set in the 1700s so you would be in period clothing. The casting director may stop by Tuesday night.
Afterschool will start for returning fencers
the Tuesday after Labor Day and for new beginners on Monday a week after Labor
Day. Homeschool classes will start on the Wednesday after Labor Day at 1 pm. Just as a couple of FYIs, most people will need to update their USA Fencing membership for the 2014-2015 season, which is $10. Checks need to be made out to Greg Spahr.
The
next session at Camp Lejeune will start Friday, September 5th. We will
be moving the start of practice back to 6 pm and the beginner class to 7
pm to make it easier for people to get to practice at the beginning.
If you have not been in a while and will be coming back, let me know so I
can bring equipment for you. If you haven’t been in yet this season we will need the USA Fencing membership and will update the Marine waiver.
Saturday,
September 6 is the Lafayette Open/Harry Rulnick foil and epee at
All-American in Fayetteville. It looks like I will be observing so I can
offer rides. Gerhard always does interesting awards for these two
events. Right now both the foil and epee need more numbers. If you haven’t competed yet this season and are looking for a low stress event to get back into it, this would be excellent.
That Sunday is an open foil and sabre tournament at NCFDP.
The
September evening beginner class will start on Monday, the 8th,at 6:30
pm and will run for 6 weeks on Monday and Wednesday. We will start an
intermediate class, if necessary on Wednesday. That will also be the
date (10th) that we start Wednesday evening practices back up. The UNCW fencers tend
to show up in force on Wednesday so there will be some people to fence.
For
those wanting to participate in a more regional event, Fredericksburg
is again hosting the Kick-Off Open on September 13-14. They have
Division 1A and Division II events. They have extended their regular fee entry deadline to September 2nd. Men’s Div. 1 epee is
an A4. Womem’s epee, Men’s Foil, and men’s sabre are A2s, Women’s foil is a B2 (needs one more A to become an A).
Sunday is epee and sabre at NCFDP.
Our
first event of the season will be held on Saturday, September 20. We
will be having Open foil, Open epee, and an E and under epee. Please
start getting signed up on askfred so we can attract fencers from other
clubs and make these higher rated events. The events are pretty small
at the moment. We REALLY REALLY need to get our higher rated epeeists and foilists in
general signed up.
The
27th will be our first 12 and under event. This one will pretty much
be just for returning fencers as the new beginners won’t be that
advanced yet. Foil at 10 am, Sabre at 1:30 pm, epee at 3:30 pm.
Trophies to the top 3 and ties. Medals to those 9 and under who do not
win a trophy. Swords to the top male and female fencer over the course
of the year. In addition a sword will be given to the fencer voted as
the showing the best sportsmanship.
It
is a busy weekend because there are adult events at Mid-South. On the
27th they have foil and sabre. The 28th has epee and a youth sabre.
The 27-28th is the first RYC of the season in Richmond. It is foil on
Saturday and epee and sabre on Sunday. Also on Sunday are team events
at NCFDP. They will run them in the NCFL format, first to 5 wins. But
they plan to have enough teams to do it as a pool and then a DE
elimination.
