The full day beginner camp starts tomorrow, so if you know anyone who might be interested, point them in our direction.

Alex Brezinski won the end of class tournament at the 1/2 day camp.  All of the people who finished have said they will be continuing to fence, so that is a good thing.

Jacksonville has picked up JC Lozada, an experienced left handed foil fencer from the Phillipines.  So those of you who are not so into epee now have someone good to fence.  Additionally, I just signed the new contract so we are good to go for the next year.  I don't have an update on the possibility of a new location.

July 31 is the end of the fencing year so not only are USFA dues due, but CFFA dues for those of you who paid in the regular 6 month or year time slots will be due.

The referee clinic has gotten moved back to September 18-19 in Raleigh.  The 18th is the clinic with the 19th being a tournament for observation and possible upgrading ratings.  There will need to be good enough fencers that upgrading a rating is possible.

The rest of the camp schedule:

Full day advanced foil camp   August  2 - 6   9 am - 5 pm    $195  Donny Zelinski, the coach from New Bern, will be attending and bringing a couple of his younger fencers.  It is shaping up to be a good camp with some people you wouldn't the opportunity during the school year.  Donny is talking about also trying to get some practice Tuesday and Thursday night.

Full day advanced epee/sabre     August 9 - 13   9 am - 5 pm   $195
