Yesterday’s NCFL meet could not find a venue and has been postponed to February 6th.
The Milewski girls attended the Capitol Clash up by Washington, DC, yesterday. Nicole went 3-2 in the first round of the Y-12 epee. She won her first 2 DE matches before losing to a girl who had beaten her in the pool. She finished 16th, earned National points and qualifies for the National Championships later this year in Dallas. Samantha, in the cadet epee, went 5-1 in the first round, only losing to the top ranked fencer. She got a bye, won her first DE, and then lost to a C from Illinois. She finished 10th and also earned National points.
No afterschool Monday as it is MLK day and St. Mary’s has off. Additionally, they are supposed to be putting in new pipes downstairs. I have been told that it will only take the one day. However, I will go in early Tuesday and try to let people know if we cannot have practice.
UNCW will be meeting on campus for the first few Wednesdays of the semester. I will let everyone know when they start coming down to the club.
There will be practice on board Camp Lejeune this Friday.
January
23rd is our Old Man Winter event. We need 3 bodies to bring the epee
up to a B and the Open foil and Vet epee can all use more people. Get

The 23rd is also the next homeschool meet and I will make certain they are outfitted if we send a team to Oak Ridge.
January
30th is the the NCFL regular season meet at Kestrel. Let me know if you
want to go. Remember, if you want to fence the individual championship
in February, you must have fenced two team events.

Looking
down the road for summer camps, I would like to use July 11-15 for
beginners. I don’t have any preference for July 18-22, July 25-29, or
August 1-5 for any particular weapon, so people should let me know if a
week doesn’t work for someone. Very little feedback so far.

It
is that time of year when I will start pruning the e-mail list. If you
want to be removed, please let me know. If you have been on hiatus
from fencing, but want to stay connected, please let me know that as
well.
