Congrats to all of our fencers who entered the Div II/III Championships this weekend! Liz and Rhiannon showed the colors in women's foil, Balint fenced in the men's epee, and Scott earned his C10 rating by winning the men's foil. Well done! Full results are here.
Next weekend, March 20-21, is the Conomikes-Gutenberg Open in Williamsburg. Again, I highly encourage everyone to spend at least a little time at the event! It can really be an eye-opener just watching what other fencers do and thinking about how you would handle them if you were on strip. Not to mention it's just pretty darn cool! Full information, including directions to the W&M rec center, are here.
Thinking about getting a USFA membership? If this will be your first time ever joining, consider waiting just a couple more weeks to do it. Memberships are normally good through the end of the current season, i.e. July 2010, regardless of when you join. However, first-timers joining after April 1 automatically have their memberships extended to the end of next season, July 2011. Wait two weeks, get three months for free, in other words! When you're ready to go, click here -- you can either do it online or print a form to do it via mail.
Don't forget to register for the fencing camps to be held over Spring Break, April 5 - 9! Details are in earlier posts and if you have any questions, just ask.
