Mid-week update

Mid-week update
I will be back in tonight, so the club will be open.  I know some people came in Tuesday, so hopefully the floor is not already messed up.  LOL  For those of you who have never seen the floor in pristine condition, you should head in tonight.  A huge thanks to everyone who has been working on this for the last couple of weeks.  The results are always worth it.
Another good reason to come in tonight is I believe Nicole Milewski will be in with all the swag she got for winning a National medal.  This will give you some idea of what you are working for.  Of course, it might not count for as much as the pride of knowing you are one of the top eight fencers in the country.  On the other hand, she can put away the 32 inch blades.  Now she can start fencing you with a sword as long as yours.  You have been warned.
Last call for Saturday’s beginner coaching clinic.  I am going and Phil Nazzaro is coming.  We will be meeting at 7 am at the club.  If anyone else wants to go, you need to bring dry and electric equipment.  Cost is $25 and that is a price you cannot beat for learning from Coach Ron MIller, UNC’s head coach.  Let me know if you are interested.
Lastly, I think I have caught up with all the other North Carolina fencers who made the top 16 in their events. 
Andrew Fullmer took 12th in Men’s Cadet epee.  He fenced for Raleigh Fencers.  I am not certain whom he is working with now.  Alan Chen of Research Triangle Fencing won a 6th place medal in Men’s Y-12 sabre.  Sean Bates of Queen City won the Gold in the Vet Men’s 40 sabre event.
From the National results I thing we have a legitimate right to claim that we are the best epee club in the state.  Or the Milewski girls have the right to claim they are the best epee club in the state.  The rest of you are sort of falling down on the job.  LOL
pax vobiscum,
