Club tomorrow (July 7)

Sorry, I haven't sent out one of these notices in a while.  Who will be there tomorrow?  I'm hoping to make it but not 100% sure yet.

June Meeting Results

It was day of ups and downs at club today.  On the plus side, Jan, Janny, and Thom all brought their A games.  Unfortunately, the same can't be said for the staff at Bob Evans.  :(  Let's keep our eyes open for an alternate venue if things don't improve there soon.

Anyway, on with the results:

Thom, 2-0, +185, FENCING 73, TAMBRES* 83, PARTOOK 78
Jan H., 3-1, +109, DENTERS* 80
Victoria, 2-1, +92, SHOEING 83, ENTASIA 71
Steve, 2-2, +70, TRAILER 61, SAUTOIRE 77, ROAMING 80, ARENOUS 71
Janny S., 2-2, -203, SPONGES 82
Betty, 1-3, -33, ERASERS 75, QUIVERER 106 (!)
Cheryl, 0-3, -220, DEFINES 72

I've updated the cumulative stats link as well.  Good luck to those going to Knoxville next weekend!

June 1 Tourney Results

Thanks in large part to the efforts of new Director Thom Hehl, last weekend's 7-game NASPA-rated tourney at Cosmic Oasis café in Richmond was a resounding success!
