Sorry I’m late this week. It’s been a busy week. I’ve added more time available for private lessons, 3 days a week. So if you would like to take private lessons, there are never more than 5-6 fencers in the fencing club at any time. Also, if you would like to take lessons, but spaces […]
Not only are we dealing with COVID-19 closures, now we have to deal with Hurricane Isaias. Current news shows that Isaias will go right through Fayetteville. But it appears to be a fast moving system and hitting our area between 11pm tonight and 12am. Then moving into Virginia by 4-5am Tuesday morning. I anticipate that […]
So we’re going to hope for the best but prepare for the worst. If North Carolina moves to Phase 3 on August 7th, we’ll start classes again. However, in the meantime, I put up a new private lesson sign up sheet. Please put in your name for when you want to come in for private […]

Let’s do some quick updates… Current Phase 2 North Carolina restrictions will expire on August 7, 2020. Again, we will plan for a re-open during the week of August 10th.

As you may have heard by now, North Carolina has extended Phase 2 for another 3 weeks starting July 17, 2020. At this rate, the return of the Neowise Comet is when we’d be able to start again. LOL…lo…yeah, it’s not actually that funny. All joking aside, we’re again adjusting fire for a return to […]
We’re inching closer to August and hopefully the opportunity to reopen. We must remain cautiously optimistic, because the number of COVID-19 cases continues to increase. Even when we return, we must equally treat our environment as infectious and wear our masks (not just the fencing ones), wash and sanitize our hands, sanitize our surroundings, and […]
