CFFA update for July 27

CFFA update for July 27
Remember that you need to renew your USA Fencing memberships by August 1
for the next season.  That will be particularly important for those
doing the camp starting on the 29th.  For those on the board or doing
things like armoring, coaching (if you are over 18), etc. you need to
have the professional membership.  You should have the new membership to fence Thursday night.

We had a good practice today with about half of the 13 fencers from camp showing up.  This week the first advanced epee camp starts Monday, regular practice Tuesday and Thursday, Camp Lejeune Friday (remember to get your memberships renewed), and Saturday morning practice.
The
only individual event for next season currently up on askfred is
Mid-South’s Big Blue.  It is August 10-11 with Open foil, epee, and
sabre events divided by gender.  The foil and epee are all on Sunday so
it doesn’t interfere with our Saturday practice.  The women’s epee needs
bodies to be
a C.  Kenyatta, Nicole, and Alice are in.  Amelia, Eilis, for foil and Eoin for men’s epee are there.  Women’s foil needs bodies to be a D event.  For men the epee is now a 19 person A and foil is a 19 person B.  Strangely enough for
Mid-South, the sabres events have the fewest people, but are picking up.
It
is that time of year when people should start thinking about paying
their 6 month or yearly dues by August 1.  For 6 month dues it is $175
(you save one month) and yearly is $350 (you save two months worth of
monthly fees).  We just made large equipment purchases at Nationals and
have to pay our yearly membership and insurance fees to USA Fencing, so
cash on hand is a good thing.
Since I went over national events last week, I will do regional events this week.  Not much listed so far, so more will probably be added.
9/20 -22 is the Fairfax Challenge in Fredericksburg.  It will have Y10, Y12, Y14, and Cadet. 
1/18 -20 is the Capitol Clash in National Harbor, Virginia.  It has Y10, Y12, Y14, Cadet, and Vets.
pax vobiscum,
