We are a group that practices Renaissance style fencing. We are happy to welcome new participants, no matter what your skill or experience level. We are members of the greater Boston area branch of the Society for Creative Anachronism, known as the Barony of Carolingia, in the Kingdom of the East, but you are not required to be a member in order to play with us. For more information, see our practice schedule and "How to Get Started."

MPORTANT PARKING INFORMATION

If the parking lot of Harvard Vanguard has not been plowed, or snowfall is due during practice time in the War, DO NOT USE THE PARKING LOT. When the plows come to clean up the lot, they will automatically tow any car that is there, without notice.

Parking can be found on the side streets where use of the "Permit Parking" spaces is allowed on Sundays. Metered spaces are free on Sunday, and after 6:00 PM on weekdays. Be mindful of any posted snow emergency signs during declared snow emergencies.

FREE parking in Cambridge is mostly nonexistent, so we do not want to do anything at all to inconvenience the maintenance crews, or jeopardize our good standing with Harvard Vanguard.

Thank you for your cooperation.

 

New Blade List

The Deputy Society Rapier Marshal has updated the list of legal blades for Society fencing and it is now posted on

http://www.sca.org/officers/marshal/docs/rapier/bladetypes.pdf

Per East Kingdom policy any blade on the list that is approved by Society is approved by the East, with the exception of Fiberglass.

From the Kingdom Marshal of Fence:

  1. Fencers should review the list, some blades that have been experimental have now been approved.  That means you, Andre. :-)   Also, if you are looking into a new blade, please review this list before purchasing.   Please don't take the word of the merchant who is selling you the item and telling you, "Oh, yeah, it's legal in your Kingdom".
  2. Marshals - please review this list, know that it is out there and make sure that people are in compliance.   Also, refer new people to the list.
  3. Anyone wishing to work with an experimental blade that is NOT on the list, should contact me with a proposal and we can run it by Society and get it approved to experiment with it.  That's how curved blades are now on the approved list, because they went through the experimental trials first.

Our practice site, the Cambridge War Memorial Pool, is part of the Cambridge Public school system. If Cambridge Public Schools are closed Recreation Programs are automatically closed. If a storm begins after school has opened a decision about evening programs will be made by 4:00 p.m. If classes are canceled they will be made up. If a storm affects Saturday classes and programs a decision is made by 7:00am. Saturday classes will be extended one week. You will not be called so it is important to pay attention to this material. If a storm affects Sunday programming a decision will be made by 9:00am. Information about closures due to weather will be on Storm Force on Channel Seven, or voice mail at 617 349-6279 or 617 349-6237.
