CFFA update for September 28

I want to get this out a bit early as I think I have a handle on what may be happening for the next week or so.

I’ll be in tomorrow at 10 am for practice.  It is Erica’s last practice before she heads to Italy so it would be nice to see a good crowd.

Mid-South has some unsanctioned sabre events and Apex has some unsanctioned foil and epee tomorrow.  Go to askfred.net for more details.

It looks like all of the local schools are still out next week so no afterschool and no Topsail.  Hopefully things will actually restart on the 8th as stated.

I would like to restart the August(!) beginner class on Tuesday at 6:30 pm.  Regular practice at 7:45 pm.

I would like to continue the September beginner class on Wednesday at 6:30 pm.  This is actually only the 2nd class for that session, so if you know anyone who is interested, have them contact me.  I would also like to throw it open to anybody for open fencing at that same time.  UNCW fencers, afterschool, homeschool, regular CFFA people, etc.  Get the rust off, relieve some cabin fever, it’s all good.

I will be sending a separate note to the homeschoolers about some further updates and some questions.

On 10/13, I would like to try to have our first 12 and under event for the season. That should give everyone a week to knock the rust off.

Our new first adult event is scheduled for October 20th.  Open epee, open foil, and a D and under foil.  Right now still the first large sanctioned event in the Division.  Get signed up so we can hopefully get a good turn out.

Please feel free to email if you have questions.

pax vobiscum,
