CFFA update for November 28

CFFA update for November 28
Had a few people come in for Saturday practice and I think they all had a good time.  Gwenyfar Rohler came in Tuesday and I think we will have an article about us in Encore in the next week or two.
I
will
be away with our fencers at the NAC December 4-7.  Right now I am still
planning to have afterschool practice on Thursday.  There will
be Thursday night practice, but I won’t be there.  No Friday night
practice at Camp Lejeune.  I haven’t heard anything about a practice on Saturday, but if that changes, I will let you know.
This will be the last week that UNCW will be in for the semester.

Herman
Smith, Joe McLaughlin, Erica Julien, Samantha Milewski, and Brendan
McConville are the fencers I see on the NAC entry lists.  If I am
missing anyone, let me know.
Herman and I will both be heading to Baltimore on Thursday night, so we will need orders for the month by Tuesday or Wednesday of this week.  The good news is that most of the big vendors will be at Baltimore, so we maybe able to save people a few dollars on shipping.

No afterschool on Monday December 7th as I will still be in Baltimore.

I know it is a ways away, but start getting signed up for our next adult
event on December 12th.  There were people at JOs who were interested, but are waiting to see where the numbers end up.  Open epee looks solid, and the D and under is adding a few more people.  Foil needs to get a bunch more people.  Right now it is 4 Cs and a D.  A number of the lower rated foilists need to get signed up. It is called paying your dues.  You need to get the experience of fencing the better fencers in pressure situations.


Afterschool practice will end up on the 17th for the year.

The next NCFL event is December 19th.  It has been moved to Kestrel Heights.  So far it is Reaghan and Will.

Charlotte has women’s and open epee on the 19th.

Some
fencers from other clubs at the JOs were wondering if we would be
holding any day long fencing camps over the semester break.  Is there
any interest in that?  It would probably need to be Monday or Tuesday of
the week before Christmas or Tuesday or Wednesday of the week after. I am leaning against it as I have only had one positive response.
