Stephen Kmiec was unstoppable at the season ending Stab-a-thon yesterday. First he won the epee event with Paul Perkins 2nd, and Samantha Milewski and Robert Thomas tied for 3rd. Then he won the foil, Oliver Galbraith took the silver, and Mark Scott and Nick Chambers tied for the bronzes. In the nightcap , Nick beat Brett Silverman to win the D and under foil.
A huge thank you to Brendan and Herman for fixing the overheads and everyone who helped with cleaning the floor. The club looks much nicer now. We will be repainting the floor later this summer so your assistance will be requested then.
This week is the last one for the season for homeschool and afterschool
classes. No practice Monday due to Memorial Day. Wednesday
practice for the homeschoolers will be mainly an end of year party
with fencing. The same for the Thursday afterschool practice.

We
will switch to a summer schedule the first week in June. The beginner
class starts Tuesday, June 2nd, at 6:30 pm. If there is
interest, the intermediate class will follow at 7:30 pm. On Wednesday
the 3rd at 7 pm, if there is interest, I will start running a two hour
practice in the style of a college practice. More footwork and drills,
less free fencing. If you are an evening
member it will be a free add on to the other practices, for everyone
else the $5 floor fee will apply.
