If anyone would like to take over posting information to this blog I am more than happy to turn over administrative duties. I have also been paying the small fee to maintain the domain...although I may let that lapse this year if no one wants it.

All equipment will need to be cleaned and turned in by this date, with the exception of those participating in the outdoor epee tournament on May 16. If you will not be fencing in this tournament but are able to volunteer your time, please let Donnie know. This tournament helps cover the costs of USFA membership and equipment for our club, and it takes the effort of many people to pull it off!

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.<br /><br />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, <a href="http://askfred.net/Events/moreInfo.php?tournament_id=6499">visit this page</a>. 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.Rocahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12023548506198486232noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-89691620982699116.post-23456846295983880912008-09-30T12:09:00.000-07:002008-09-30T13:02:17.219-07:00Fencing in CollegeParents, do you know that there are <span style="font-style: italic;">two</span> college varsity fencing programs in our state? It's never too early to look into applying. To your right you will find links to both the Duke and UNC Fencing team websites which both have applications you can use to apply for more information. If your son or daughter is looking out of state, a complete list of colleges that have NCAA fencing programs can be found <a href="http://www.ncaa.org/wps/portal/%21ut/p/kcxml/04_Sj9SPykssy0xPLMnMz0vM0Y_QjzKLN4j3CQXJgFjGpvqRqCKOcAFvfV-P_NxU_QD9gtzQiHJHRUUAJfRZxA%21%21/delta/base64xml/L3dJdyEvUUd3QndNQSEvNElVRS82XzBfTFU%21?CONTENT_URL=http://www2.ncaa.org/portal/sports/winter/fencing/">here</a>. Top fencing schools include Penn State, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Columbia, U Penn, Harvard, Princeton, Northwestern, Temple, and Brandeis, among others. Attending one of the college meets at Duke or UNC would also be a good way to get an introduction to college fencing. If you have questions, please see one of the coaches at practice, and we'll be happy to help.Rocahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12023548506198486232noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-89691620982699116.post-59150837443715430172008-09-24T06:37:00.000-07:002008-09-24T06:44:34.864-07:00T-Shirt Orders<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7HQng8mxJC9ATuHLgkprRiDa-3T5MyAYG0G6tN7-ghMMOg_8R96Dq-fNBAK04ULw6VLCrUw1OgtzLo67zl2ybVR4l7vKEtSEf0FW2dUN72ejW_xRrGC52LcIYqO9sZOA7yxcfNwS7tjE/s1600-h/SNBShirt.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7HQng8mxJC9ATuHLgkprRiDa-3T5MyAYG0G6tN7-ghMMOg_8R96Dq-fNBAK04ULw6VLCrUw1OgtzLo67zl2ybVR4l7vKEtSEf0FW2dUN72ejW_xRrGC52LcIYqO9sZOA7yxcfNwS7tjE/s320/SNBShirt.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249582796829227970" border="0" /></a><br />We are now taking orders for club t-shirts featuring the new Salle New Bern logo.
