summer, I would like to have sessions for the 12 and under set on
Tuesday and Thursday, starting at 6:30 pm. This will give the fencers of
that age group a chance to keep up with things over the summer. My beginner class is finished so I can give you more hands
on instructions. Costs would be $35 per month or the $5 per session
floor fee.
Powerade State Games are next Saturday You can check askfred for
an approximate entry list. However, the actual entry is done on
pag.ncsports.org under fencing. The event is only about 2 hours away in
Raleigh this year. Events are split as Y-12, Women’s, and Men’s. They
give awards within the adult events for cadet, junior, and vet; as well
as the
overall results. You needed to be registered by the 4th as now the fees have gone up. Right now I have those entered as the Milewskis, the Harveys, Oliver, Will, Robert, and Reaghan (from askfred). I am going up to coach, so if I don’t have you listed let me know so I can look for you. Getting a medal qualifies you for the next State Games of America which will be in Grand Rapids, Michigan next August. If you medaled last year, you are already qualified. One difference from previous years (I think) is that medaling in any fencing event qualifies you for all the fencing events. Robert has the knowledge of who qualified from last year if you have forgotten if you won a medal.
have been asking about T-shirts and jackets. The last time we had
shirts done they ran $15 and are the design with the club logo on the
back and the fencer on the front. The jackets have the club logo on the
back and were $45. I don’t know if they would be that exact price as it
was a couple of years ago, but that should be a good approximate. If
you might be interested, let me know what you want and the correct size
so we can get an order together. So far very few people have contacted me, even a number of those who had said they wanted shirts and jackets.
