Oliver Galbraith went to Mid-South’s Black Friday event and won both the foil and epee events.
The homeschool team went to a meet yesterday in Oak Ridge and came away 1-1. Caroline Artz got the winning touch in a match that was tied four bouts apiece in a bout that had gone to La Belle.
Should be the standard week of practice this week.
December
6th is the 2nd NCFL meet,. This one will be at East Chapel Hill High
School. It starts at 10 am and will last until? Let me know who is
interested in going so we can plan carpools, equipment, teams, etc. Should be about the more or less standard leave from Sam’s Club on College about 6:45 am time frame.

Keep
getting Holiday request orders to Herman or me. A cutoff date of about
two weeks before Christmas gives us a bit of room for mistaken orders,
pick up, wrong sizing, etc.

The week of the 8th the UNCW students will be in exams, so I doubt they will be in for Wednesday practice. I will be there if anyone is interested, let me know.
Our
next home adult event is December 13. Open foil, open epee, and Vet
epee. Start getting signed up now. We are currently have 18 for the
open epee, 11 in the open foil, and 7 in the Vet epee. If you are
thinking about it, get signed up. Salle New Bern is again
donating some tickets for winners to the Tryon Palace for a tour on the 20th.
I am looking at the 18th as the last day for afterschool this year. I will be gone the week of Christmas, but will let you know if it looks like people will be getting together for practice on Tuesday of that week.
Looking at the New Year, the next homeschool meet is January 3rd at Oak Ridge. For adults there is the Hangover in Richmond. It is usually a large event with each weapon being an A in the opens and with separate strong women’s events.
Afterschool and a new beginner afterschool class will start on January 5th. The next adult beginner class will start on January 6th, with an intermediate class to follow if anyone is interested. The next Homeschool beginner class will start on the 7th.
The 10th is the first NCFL meet of 2015, at Kestrel Heights.
The 17th is our first adult event of the New Year. With this one we are bringing back the one touch epee event in addition to the open foil and epee. All of our spring events are now up on askfred, so start getting signed up.
The 18th is a homeschool event. I am hoping to get it on board Camp Lejeune. In addition to the homeschool teams, I am going to try to have a meet with women’s foil teams and mixed epee teams in the morning. I will keep everyone posted. These would all be for high school age and below fencers and you would need a full uniform. We will loan you knickers (if we have them in your size) and underarm protectors. No cost to fence and we can always make composite teams.
The next set of Camp Lejeune classes should start on the 23rd.
The 24th will be our first 12 and under event for 2015. Standard times and rules.
The 31st is the second NCFL meet of January, location yet to be decided.
pax vobiscum.
