We welcome our local chapter of the Society for Creative Anachronism! We have agreed on an initial basis to host their meetings in the parish hall on Tuesdays (parish events excepting) from 1800-2100. The SCA is a non-profit (501(c)(3)), educational group that re-creates the Western European Middle Ages in pre-1600 times.
They say “re-create” because instead of re-enacting specific historical events, they choose aspects of pre-1600 life to re-create through the use of a “persona”: a character that they create that could have lived in the Middle Ages.
People in the SCA study and re-create martial activities including armored combat, fencing, archery, siege weapons and more. Their artisans research, create and teach music, poetry, cooking, singing, dancing, metal-smithing, tailoring, armoring, etc. Through the hard work of dozens and even hundreds of volunteers, SCA hosts events all over the country every weekend.
