Our Discord link has been fixed! The original link had expired without us knowing, but that has been fixed now. All of our discussions have been happening there lately so be sure to check it out! If you currently go to practice but don't have a role assigned, let us know and we'll fix it.

Check out the Springfield Historical Fencing Guild community on Discord - hang out with 40 other members and enjoy free voice and text chat.

As Will already mentioned, we will be meeting in the park behind the Oak Grove Community Center until September.

With weather now being a factor, if the forecast shows inclement weather on Saturday mornings then keep an eye on our group page or Discord channel for any cancellations. We typically wait until 30 minutes prior to the start of practice before cancelling since weather predictions aren't always great. However, there are a few members that are coming from further away so we will take that into account and cancel earlier in the morning when possible. Also feel free to contact us earlier if needed.

We had another good practice yesterday, made even better with donuts! We wrapped up disarms with the long sword as well as the last of Andre Lignitzer's sword and buckler plays. Next week we will continue on with the long sword, and have a review of sword and buckler for any members that may have missed a class or two and want to catch up. Don't forget next practice is this Tuesday!
