Fencers, great job at the AFC tournament this week! In case you missed the event, it was a good experience, and lot of fun! As a team, we did very well. Congrats to the following fencers who placed in the top 3 of their respective tournaments:

Parth Deshmukh: 1st Place Open Foil, 2nd Place Open Saber
Eric Lange: 1st Place Open Saber, 3rd Place Open Epee
Daniel Miller: 1st place D & Under Foil
Courtney Price: 3rd Place Open Saber
Zhefan Ye: 3rd Place D & Under Foil

Catching up and the Cookout!

So... There's a slight chance that it's been a while, so.... TIME TO CATCH UP!

Dues have been paid, and that leaves us with 60ish dues paying members which is super fantastic. This is the largest number of fencers the club has ever had (or at least that anyone can remember), and Eric is pretty sure that this makes us the biggest fencing club in the southeast. I think that is pretty darn cool.

We've put in an order of stuff. Lots of stuff. We'll be getting new stuff and stuff to make the old stuff work like new, and that is definitely something to get excited about!

One of our sneaky methods of getting people to love fencing and stick around is to give them food, because who doesn't like free food! So about that cookout...

It was lots of fun! Delicious food thanks to GrillMasters Bryan and Lukas. DJ Arren provided some awesome tunes, folks were playing four square, Frisbee, and people may or may not have been playing with matches and we may or may not have tried to light Silly Putty on fire... >.> <.<
