This is a group for anyone who is interested in fencing! I am one of the owners of a new fencing club in the area, and we want to introduce and involve the local community in this great sport! If there is enough interest, we'd like to hold fencing events where we will give lessons and hold tournaments for Meetup members. Fencing is a great workout both physically and mentally, and a very social sport. Anyone who has an interest in fencing, or used to fence, or wants to learn should join!

Do you you have a love of maps and history? Are you interested in the environment through an historical lens? Often we are taught subjects as self-contained disciplines, but in reality there are many natural forces which effect an historical event, such as plagues, landforms, climate, wind and ocean currents. This group isn't about reciting dates or capitals--we explore people, places and events and the the way the natural world has affected history and vice versa. It's really amazing stuff!

A group for enthusiasts of Renaissance Faire culture and of the annual Maryland Renn Fest!
