| You're close to my neck of the woods...You'd be better off looking in West Virginia and the west half of PA. AFAIK there isn't ANYTHING out that way. The closest club to you in the state of MD is, I think, the NIH (National Institute of Health) club located near Rockville.
Long hike, to be certain.

| I don't know of anything in Cumberland. You might want to try Frostburg. I know there is something going on in Morgantown (WVU). Also north towards Pittsburg, PA. NIH would take you a couple of hours each way. We do fence on Sundays though (10:00am - 2:00pm). | |

| Morgantown has a small club. Only meets on Wed. It's about an hour and 15 mins away from Cumberland, but 98% highway.
As for PA, I think there is a club in Ligonier, that would be closer than Pittsburgh. Still going to cost you about 1 1/2 each way.

| Chambersburg, PA has a small club, it may be an hour and a half away but not much else seems closer- drop me a line & I'll get you directions, times, etc.

| I agree, Out of Nowhere (which is actually a Virginia Division club) may be your best bet. If you're going to foray up into Pennsylvania, check with Wes Glon at Penn State. Last I knew, he had a small club at a fitness center in Altoona, which might be easier to get to than Ligonier. You basically just go straight up 220. Once you hit Bedford, it turns into an Interstate all the way to Altoona. | |
