Herman is starting to collect orders for people wanting to order fencing equipment for holiday gifts. If you are not certain about a size you can go to a company website (if it needs to be a secret) or we can just finagle the information out of the youngsters while they are getting dressed. Those of you who have ordered things, please take care of payment ASAP so we can free space up on the club credit card for the holiday rush. If we can, we will probably try to find equipment that fits out of the cabinets. Although rush things can happen, if we would set a two weeks before Christmas date as the last day to order that will give us some time to deal with wrong sizes, incorrect merchandise, picking it up surreptitiously, etc.
I have information concerning an Italian exchange student who fences looking for a host family in North Carolina. He is 16 and I am not certain what weapon he fences. It would be for Fall 2015. If you are interested I can give you the sponsoring group’s contact information.
Lastly, I am looking at holding one of the homeschool meets on board Camp Lejeune on Sunday, January 18th. The homeschool meet would start at the standard 1:30 pm time. I would like to combine that with an NCFL auxiliary meet of women’s foil teams and mixed epee teams. That would start about 11 am I am guessing. Fencers would need to be high school age or under. Fencers would need full uniforms and we would help with that as much as possible. It would cost nothing for fencers to participate. If you are not associated with the base I would need to know who would be driving to get you a pass to get on base. MCCS is offering us part of their 1 year old very nice facility in which to hold this, but want to know what the numbers might be before giving a final approval. Let me know if you are interested.
