Our new motto for 2014: “Not Dead Yet”. We recently held our 12th (?) annual non-garb gathering dubbed “The Feast of Bastards”. I’ve been fighting alongside these guys and gals since the early 90’s and wouldn’t have it any other way! :)
-
Not an SCA Knight in the bunch, but we do host 5 SCA Award of Arms, 4 Eagle Scouts, 3 Scout Masters, 3 teachers and one Police Sergeant in the group. :)
-
Nice setup! I assume those are the coats of arms of all the group's members hanging on the wall there.
-
I am new to the SCA but have found great camaraderie and a welcoming environment for myself and my wife. People who don't really know you, trust you and share all that they have with you. Last night I got invited to armor night and had a great time using all types of fancy armorsmithing tools...and the owner of the home was so welcoming and helpful.
I can't wait to join a household and find a place to call mine :)
Kinda makes me not want to leave the US and do ministry abroad with the wife...staying here and investing in the SCA community is very appealing..
-
Seems like garb was perhaps the only thing you all were missing, Lord Rodney. I look forward to this Saturday where a number of us will be doing the same thing, more or less.

Nice set up. :)

Good set up!

congrats on your 12th feast of bastards!

Yes, the rope alternates individual arms with the unit's arms. It's usually attached to the front awning of our battlefield shade fly.
Nice set up. :)
Thanks! The table is a handmade & hand painted trestle table. The matching pottery was all hand painted by individuals and fired by an artist in the group. The arms were all hand painted by the same unit artist. It helps to have many skilled people in the group and many years to get projects done.

That really is amazing.
Also, folding chairs from Costco. Is no small feat my friend.

You bastards!

Looks like a nice gather. I would like to learn more about SCA if I could find a good local (and not too fanatical) group to join up with in the NoVA area.
-
The NoVa area definitely has some active groups. James Barker (mentioned in another thread) served as the local Baron for a while. Depending on which side of NoVA you're in, there are a few Baronies here, I think.
Off hand, I can remember Stierbach (http://www.stierbach.org/) and Ponte Alto (http://pontealto.atlantia.sca.org/)

You bastards!
A nicer compliment we could not ask for! ;D
BTW, our unit historian goes by the name Gareth the Black. He has all black armour, a black great helm, and he runs around with a giant two handed axe affectionately named “fluffy”.

That's what happens to the mind of a 4th grade teacher after awhile, just say'n. ;)
