No practice November 3

This just in: There will be no fencing practice on Monday, November 3 due to our building being used as a polling location. We are still planning to meet Wednesday, November 5, but I will update this blog if I hear otherwise.

On another note, early voting is still open in Craven County until this Friday (October 31). So vote early and avoid the lines!!!

Homework and ECU Tournament

Need help with the homework from Monday? If someone to ask is unavailable, you can make use of some of the references on this page. Particularly, the "Beginner's Competition Guide" under Fencing Resources in the column to the right.

Also, many of you asked about the mixed epee tournament at ECU this weekend. This is their first official tournament and we hope to support them by sending as many fencers as we can! In addition, this is a very close tournament (less than one hour drive), compared to others in Raleigh and Wilmington. A good showing will ensure that they will hold more tournaments in the future. For more information, visit this page. Preregistration can also be done through this website. Please note that fencers must be 13 years old on January 1 of the competitive season to fence in open events.
