Equipment orders, national event in Richmond - 18 Oct 11

If you're wanting new gear for the W&M Halloween Open or don't want to wait until November for new stuff, equipment orders are due to me by 10 p.m. this Wednesday. As always, they can be turned in at club or emailed.

Want to rent gear for the tourney instead of purchasing your own? Let me know what you need ASAP so I can make sure to have enough additional weapons put together.

A bit farther away but well worth the drive is the North American Cup event at the Richmond convention center this Friday through Monday. NACs are a series of national events held around the country to give fencers from all over the opportunity to compete. The Richmond NAC is for U17 (Cadet), Division II (C and under) and Division III (D and under) fencers so while you won't see current Olympians (like you will at the April NAC in Virginia Beach!), you will see plenty of Virginia Division regulars, including our own Scott Y., going up against fencers from all over the country. The best part? Admission for spectators is free! The event schedule:
