We held the Old Man Winter event yesterday. Strong fields in all events, but we were a couple of bodies short for getting ratings in the foil and Vet epee. Gabe Lima of Apex won the foil with our Jesse Harvey coming in second. Sam Cason, now of the Raleigh Fencers club and CFFA’s Oliver Galbraith tied for 3rd. In the epee, Patrick Lausi of Palmetto Fencers Club took a B1 event. Oliver came in second and earned his C14 in epee. Ryan Miller from Salle New Bern and our Paul Perkins tied for 3rd. CFFA’s Nick Chambers came in 5th earning a D14 and Gabe Davis came in 8th updating to an E14. In the Vet epee, Paul was first, Robert Thomas of CFFA was 2nd, and Scott Butler of Wilmington Fencing Club and Herman Smith of CFFA tied for 3rd. Thanks to everyone who helped with refereeing, set up and tear down, and managing the event.
We then adjourned to Herman and Suzanne Smith’s house for the club Holiday/after fencing tournament party. Many thanks to the Smith’s for all the work that went into hosting the mob.
Today, Reaghan Juelke participated in Mid-South’s Y-12 event.
Last week of fencing before we take a holiday break. The UNCW students are gone, so if anyone wants to come in on Wednesday evening, tell me by Tuesday night. I
am looking at the 18th as the last day for afterschool this year. The last day for Lejeune will be the 19th.

like people will be getting together for practice on Tuesday of that
week.

Looking
at the New Year, the next homeschool meet is January 3rd at Oak Ridge.
For adults there is the Hangover in Richmond. It is usually a large
event with each weapon being an A in the opens and with separate strong
women’s events. Sign up on askfred before the 28th, after that the fees jump a great deal.

The
10th is the first NCFL meet of 2015, at Kestrel Heights. Harry and
Will could really use a third fencer if anyone is interested.

bringing back the one touch epee event in addition to the open foil and
epee. All of our spring events are now up on askfred, so start getting
signed up.

The
18th is a homeschool event. I am hoping to get it on board Camp
Lejeune. In addition to the homeschool teams, I am going to try to have
a meet with women’s foil teams and mixed epee teams in the morning. I
will keep everyone posted. These would all be for high school age and
below fencers and you would need a full uniform. We will loan you
knickers (if we have them in your size) and underarm protectors. No
cost to fence and we can always make composite teams.

The next set of Camp Lejeune classes should start on the 23rd.
The 24th will be our first 12 and under event for 2015. Standard times and rules.
The 31st is the second NCFL meet of January, location yet to be decided.
