Welcome to 1995! We hope that everyone had a pleasant and not too hectic holiday season. We're ready to get 1995 going and have a few tournament announcements to make.

• The Nathaniel Greene Memorial foil tournament has been scheduled for Jan. 22 at the Glennwood Rec. Center in Greensboro, NC. For tournament inf, contact Linda Marsh (see schedule sheet for contact numbers)

• Foil and Epee mixed doubles tournament - is set for 2/26 at UNC Chapel Hill. This tournament consists of 2 events, the mixed epee and mixed foil. Teams are two person (one male and one female) to be run in 'relay' format. This means that the teams com pete in 10 touch 'bouts' with the first pair fencing until 5 touches are scored and the second pair fencing until the bout is won. This has been held intermittently in past years, and allways proves to be a fun tournament.

• The NC Divisional Championships have been moved from 3/18/95 to 3/19/95 but will still be held in the Glennwood Rec. Center. Remember, entries must be RECIEVED no later than 3/11/95 to avoid paying late fees. The entry fees will be $10.00 for the firs t event, $5.00 each additional event. U19 Teams are $30.00 per team, $45.00 if late.

We want all members of the NC Division to compete in other local/regional competitions. It's always helpful to go out-of-state to see new styles and meet others involved in our sport. To help faclilitate this, we added regional events to the updated event s calander. Names and phone numbers of the contact person have been included where possible. Also note that the Atlanta events tend to be high-level -- usually being 'B' competitions or higher.

For those of you with on-line access. We would like to remind you that the usenet group 'rec.sport.fencing' is a good place to hunt for tournament announcements, armoring tips, and general discussion on the sport of fe ncing. Also, we can be reached by our e-mail addresses. Craig Harkins and Joanna Myers can be reached at "jnmyers@email.unc.edu" Ned Light at "edl@acpub.duke.edu" and Bill Zevin at "scaramouche@vnet.ibm.com"

Thank You all very much for a good 1994, and let's work for a great 1995!
