OS/AH Series: August 2020, 1st Week, Class, and Updates!
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 […]
When It Rains, It Pours, Literally
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 […]

OS/AH Series: July 2020, 2nd Week, Fencing Class and Updates
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 […]
