Pennsic 42
- [Slippery Rock, PA]
Annual war between the Tyger Throne - the evil
Eastern Kingdom and its bloodthirsty, unspeakably dishonorable
allies (rumor is they leave trash on the 'field of honor', do not
recycle, and do not
even wash their hands before dinner!), against the good and
honorable Dragon Throne - the Kingdom of the Middle (Midrealm and
including one of its Baronies - North Woods) and its wonderful
friends. More info can be found on the Pennsic 42 website, including
preregistration information, directions, and information about the
war and the activities at the encampment. |

Business Meeting - These meetings are held at Panera
Bread in Green Oaks Mall in Brighton, Michigan, and are the business
meetings of the Canton of Weldlake. All are invited to attend, none are
required. This is where the usual mundane meetings of the group are done.
Agendas for the meeting are sent by email by the group's Seneschal - Lady
Odelia of White Waters. To be added to the email list for an agenda, you may
contact her at Seneschal@weldlake.org.
Directions to Panera Bread |

Gab and Garb -
This is a social gathering of men and women who wish to make garb or
medieval clothing. It costs about $15.00 US to make a 'basic medieval'
outfit. More formal and elaborate garb such as court garb costs more. This
group also is charged by the Canton to make the Canton's banner signage
for the Medieval Village. For more information, come to a meeting.
Children are welcome at the meetings. Gab and Garbs are at the
Lodge of the Brighton Masons unless otherwise noted. There is an area
set up with videos and games for children. |

Events
- One of the most
interesting parts of the SCA are "events", our word for the times when we
put on our medieval clothing, go out and dance those dances we've been
practicing, flirt, eat, talk, and generally have a good time. Events are
held almost every weekend of the year somewhere; some weekends there may
be as many as a couple dozen events scattered around the SCA. Listed here
are our events and those we plan to attend.
At events there are often tournaments, art exhibits or competitions,
classes on all manner of medieval skills, workshops, and, later in the
evening, a medieval feast, Royal or Baronial Court, and dancing. There are
many different kinds of events, and the common pattern varies from place
to place and season to season. The events are the most fun to most folk,
because there we are recreating the "current medieval ages." Events
require at least an attempt of Medieval dress or "garb" for participation.
See the chatelaine of your local group to either borrow garb or
information on how to make quick and easy "garb". |

Demonstration
or Demo
- Similar to an event, in that we put on
our medieval clothing, but now we show the best the SCA has to offer to
the general public. See the
Balloonfest demos list
for what we demonstrated from the "current middle ages" to the guests of
the Michigan Challenge Balloonfest. Medieval dress is not required to
participate. |
|
Newcomers Openhouse
-
This is for those people who would like to know what the SCA is all
about (such as what does SCA stand for). All who are interested in the
Middle Ages are invited to attend. Here we will have small demos or
samples of SCA arts and Crafts. All Gab and
Garb gatherings are also newcomers openhouse events, as we generally are
working on SCA related projects. These, however, are not the more formal
demo event of a Newcomers Openhouse. |
| Events linked
to on calendar - These are events that the Canton plans
to have lords and ladies representing the Canton in attendance. Look for
the canton banner for the Canton representatives. |
