We will need to do a sweep and mop on the floor because of the flooding. It took up a bit of the paint, but no reason to touch up until we have the flooding possibility curtailed.
Thanks to the Hart’s for the AC, microwave, and Keurig machine. I have no idea how to work the Keurig, so if someone can give me some tutoring on use and care and handling, it will be appreciated.
Nice saber
camp with Reaghan and Amir. Foil camp
this week after has a nice range of participants. Some homeschoolers, some afterschoolers, and some who fence in the evening with the adults, ages 7/8 to 14, experience levels all the way from some
who have just finished their beginning classes to those who have been to
a National Championship. Anyone who is interested, but hasn’t told me is still welcome.

The epee camp, August 3-7, may be the strongest camp we
have ever had since two of the fencers are just coming off excellent
National Championship performances. You will need to be able to deal
with left handers as there are already four signed up. LOL

Our first fall beginner class will start on Tuesday, August 18th, at 6:30 pm and run for 6 weeks.
Mid-South is holding a sabre clinic on Labor Day weekend, September 4-6.
Starts Friday evening and goes through Sunday. The clinician is Ed
Korfanty, the US National team sabre coach. He is also coach to Mariel
Zagunis who has won two Olympic Gold medals. You can go to the clinic
as a coach or as a fencer, but realize it is priced as appropriate for a
person of Korfanty’s stature.

Next Saturday is August 1, the start of a new season. That means everyone needs to start renewing their USA Fencing memberships for 2015-2016. You can do it on line at the website, or I have paper copies. If you do it on line, please bring me a copy. We need the verification to make certain you are on our insurance okay.
It also means those of you who pay CFFA dues in yearly or semi-annual lump sums should start getting those in. The yearly dues are 12 months for the price of 10, semi-annual is 6 months for the price of 5.
Paul Perkins has suggested we take a night for armoring. Personal and hopefully some club stuff can be fixed. Those of you who have something broken can learn how to work on it with a bunch of old pros there. We would get pizza and show fencing movies. If people are interested, let me know and suggest dates.
