Welcome to Carolingia Fencing

Winter practices are held at the Cambridge War Memorial facility on Thursday nights from 7:00 to 9:00 pm  and on Sunday afternoons from 2:00 to 5:00 pm. Please check to make sure Sunday practice is happening.

On Thursday evenings we share our practice space with the middle eastern dance practice, which will offer instruction and practice for both beginners and more advanced dancers.

The War Memorial is part of Cambridge Rindge and Latin school, located at 1640 Cambridge St., Cambridge, Massachusetts. The site charges an entrance fee of $3 to use its facilities (bring small bills, they do not make change). Note that there is a brand new floor in the gym, and NON-MARKING SNEAKERS ARE REQUIRED. You can park in the Harvard Vanguard parking lot across the street, but do NOT use any reserved spaces marked for employees.

Because our practice site is a school facility, there are blackout dates when it is closed due to school holidays. For the summer, there are no Sunday practices.

During the school year look at Channel 7 StormForce for school closings to see if the War is closed due to weather: http://www1.whdh.com/stormforce/index.php

Directions from Google Maps.

Now that Pennsic is over fencing will resume at the Millbury practice in Quintavia on Mondays from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m in the Mary Elizabeth McGrath Educational Center (MEMEC). The Marshall in Charge is the East Kingdom fencing warlord, Ogedei. This is a regional practice, with fencers from Quintavia, Carolingia, Smoking Rocks, and Bridge.

The practice will be held at the Mary Elizabeth McGrath Educational Center, 130 Elm Street, Millbury, MA.

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.
