Congratulations and reminders - 8 Jun 10

Congratulations to Scott for earning his C10 in saber at last weekend's Division Championships in Charlottesville! In addition to taking second in mixed saber, he also came in 7th in men's epee and 5th in men's foil.

These results keep Scott well on track to winning another Jefferson Cup, the Virginia Division's award to fencers with the highest number of points in certain categories. The category he's leading is the men's Tri-Wizard Cup three weapon cup and with the season winding down, the other guys in the Division are going to have to hustle to take it away from him! You can see the current point standings on the Division website.

Registration's open for camps and classes at both IWFC and PFC! The next IWFC beginner class starts June 21 and you just need to send an email to coach@iwfc.net to sign up. The next PFC beginner and intermediate classes start July 11. Registration for those classes is handled through Poquoson Parks and Rec. Ditto for the fencing camps Poquoson is also hosting in July and August. Going to be on vacation during part of a scheduled class? Just let me know and we'll work something out!

Remember, no PFC next Sunday, June 13. See you on the 20th! (If I don't see you at IWFC before then!)

Starting tonight, IWFC fencers should avoid parking to the left of the posts in front of the building (i.e. the ones to the left of my car). The guy next door is going to start getting nighttime deliveries and since they're going to be big, heavy parts at times, we'll want to stay clear of the doors. (You can park all the way across on the highway side of the lot, this is just for the building side.)

The equipment order is in so you can pick up your stuff at any practice.

And last but certainly not least, a BIG WOO HOO goes to all of our graduates! Way to go!
