CFFA update for February 5

CFFA update for February 5
The
next beginner class will start tomorrow, Monday, February 6th at 6:30 pm. 
This one will run on Monday and Wednesday for a little over 6 weeks.  Everything else this week should be regular.

February
11th is the NCFL team championship.  I believe it is at Orange County. 
Right now the New Hanover women are qualified. 

JOs are February 17-20.  I will be away and the following changes need to be made to the schedule.  No afterschool or evening class on Thursday, February 16.  Regular practice should be available at 7:30 ish with other officers of the club.  No practice or class at Camp Lejeune Friday, February 17.  No afterschool or evening class on Monday, February 20.  Current flight plans should have me back for afterschool and evening events on February 21.  However, do keep an eye on weather between here and Kansas City, just in case.

The
NCFL individual championships are February 18th at Greensboro.  I believe Reaghan Juelke is our only participant.

The
NAC in Baltimore will also be huge.  It has the Div 1 National
Championships, plus Vets, Div II, and Div III.  The regular fee deadline
is February 22nd.

February 25 is a homeschool meet at CFFA.  More info as it gets closer.

Also
that weekend is the ACC championships at Duke.  There is some talk of
taking those interested up to see some very high level college fencing. 
I will keep you posted.

March
4-5 are the Division II/III and Y-14 qualifiers in Greensboro.  The
entry deadline before fees go up is 2/26.  Check askfred for more info.  Not very many of our fencers are currently signed up.

Information
has started going up about the State Games for North Carolina.  They
will be going back to the two day format.  The dates are June 17-18 and
the venue is Forsyth Country Day School.  For more information go to
PoweradeStateGames .org.

If
you medaled in either the 2015 or 2016 State games, you are eligible
for the State Games of America event which will be held August 4-6 in
Grand Rapids, Michigan.    Fees are $40 for the first event and $25 for
subsequent events.  Earning any medal in fencing qualifies you to enter
in any event for which you are age/gender appropriate.  More information
on askfred or the State games of America website.

pax vobiscum,
