CFFA Update 1.25.26
RESULTS
We didn’t hold our scheduled event yesterday. Partly due to weather in the western part of the state and partly due to the gym’s water situation.
IMPORTANT DEADLINES
The Divisional II/III and Y14 National Qualifiers are now up on askfred. Even though the Nationals are in Portland, this should be a good event to attend. The event is March 21-22, and registration closes on March 15. The events are still pretty sparse except for the Div II Men’s foil.
If you are looking to go a little farther afield for an event, may I suggest On Point’s Spring Open, March 14. It is in Clover, SC, just south of Charlotte. On Point is run by the Viveros family. Their event last year was a big well run event. You can talk to Patrick. He did it last year and it looks like he is going back.
CLUB UPDATES
I don’t yet know how the loss of water to the gym may affect things. The City has said all will be fixed by the end of this weekend, but they originally said it would be fine by Friday night. Should be club practice Tuesday and Thursday night. Afterschool on Monday and Wednesday at 3:30 pm and Homeschool on Wednesday at 1 pm.
Our next evening beginner class will start February 2nd and be a Monday/Wednesday class.
I don’t see anyone other than Herman for the Cincinnati NACs. It doesn’t look like anyone close is holding an event on that Saturday (February 14). That would make it possible to hold one of our club age 12 and under events. Let me know if people 12 and under are up for an event on February 14. So far there does not seem to be much interest.
Our upcoming events are on askfred. The Lynn Krupey Memorial Iron Maiden is on March 7, and the Stab-a-thon is on April 18.
We are no longer hosting the state High School team Championships on February 7th.
