1-3 is the Ned Light RYC at Mid-South. This is for fencers from 8-14
in various age groupings and is the next level up for those who want to
advance beyond our local youth tournaments. You will need a full set of
gear, knickers, underarm protector, etc. We will let you borrow club
gear if we have the correct sizing. Let me know if you are interested. Right now we only have a couple of people going.

Our
next event is Saturday, April 16th. Open foil, Open epee, and an E and
under foil. Start getting signed up now. We have a few open foil and epee particpants, but need more in the E and under foil. If we can get 15 fencers of
whom 4 are Es we might be able to give away a D in the E and under.

Right now it looks like April 23rd will be the next youth event. Charlotte is also holding adult events that day.
April 30 May 1 is an RJCC at Apex. This is a regional competition solely for Y-16 and Y-19 events. Most of the men’s events look like they will be A competitions. The women’s events will be strong although probably not that strong. Entry fees go up after April 15.
May 7-8 is the Division Div II/II and Y-14 qualifiers in Burlington. Preregistration ends April 30th.
