A pretty calm Division meeting yesterday. Next year’s officers are Zemi Lawrence as chair, Steve Kmiec is staying as VP for coaching and referee development, Paul Perkins is chair for youth development, Liz Morey will be both Secretary and Treasurer, and Donny Zelinski moves to Past President. NBS gym is going to try and reopen in Lexington, NC later this year.
Standard week of practice this week.
May 2nd is Salle New Bern’s outdoor epee
event. Right now it is a solid B event and could be a B2 with a couple more bodies. I am observing
so will have some room if people need rides.

The beginner class for May will start on Tuesday, May 5th, at 6:30 pm. Intermediate class if interest.
May 9th and 10th will be an event at Mid-South with epee, foil, sabre, and E and under sabre.
May
16th is a set of unsanctioned events
up at Apex. Unsanctioned means you cannot earn a rating, but it would
be a new set of people for you to fence. The events will be a Y-10
foil, Y-12 foil and epee, and Junior
mixed foil, and Junior mixed epee. They have just added an unsanctioned women’s epee and changed the women’s junior foil to open women’s foil. This is a good opportunity for a
number of our 12 and younger fencers who want to move to the next level
(moving out of our club events). The junior events look like they will
be pretty strong. You will need a full uniform, so talk
to me if interested.
Our
Stab-a-thon season ending event will occur on Saturday, May 23rd. Open
Epee, open foil, and a D and under foil. If we can get 4 Ds, 4Es, and
25 total foilists the winner can get a C without having to fence Cs.
Get signed up on askfred ASAP so we can lure in those kind of numbers.

12 foil, epee, and sabre. We will give the season long swords away at

event so volunteer refs and assistance is very welcome.
