Whether you’re new, ancient, working on a masterpiece, or just looking to hang out, we invite you to come share in our fun.
Garb is encouraged, but optional.
Group gear is available for those wishing to participate in heavy and fencing combat, so don’t let your lack of fight-kit keep you away! Your own groin protection, though, is necessary for full-on fighting. If you do not have groin protection, drills and slow-work is still possible.
Often, drinks/snacks after practice may occur, though such plans are spontaneously formalised and never guaranteed.

- Change in Business Meeting Dates
With the change in practice times to Wednesday, we now face a conflict with our monthly business meetings. It has been proposed to move the monthly business meetings from the third Wednesday of each month to the third Tuesday.
For November, our officers are hoping to hold the meeting on a Sunday (proposed dates of November 10, or November 24th) in order to include a planning session for the events of 2025.
Polling will be offered up soon through social media channels to determine the ideal date/time. As always, all members of our community are welcomed and encouraged to participate.
- Changing of the Guard
A joyous welcome to the incoming Champions of Sword, and Arts & Science!
Antonia of Myrgan Wood and Sir Korsak have proven themselves dedicated and worthy to maintain the honour of our barony. We look forward to another year of wisdom and courage as they guide our populace to new heights of skill and mastery.
We bid a grateful farewell to our departing champions, Lady Signe Smiđja and Sir Kvigr Ivarsson, who have served our barony faithfully. Thank you deeply for your leadership.
We also wish to thank Lord Willum the Bear, as he takes a well deserved rest from being our ever-present Chatelain and Gold Key. Many new members of our populace were welcomed in by the Bear’s sincere kindness and enthusiasm for our game. There’s no way to properly quantify how much we appreciate his dedication and thoughtfulness.
As fall settles in, we see the changing of the seasons. So, too, do we transfer rights and responsibilities between our members. Our tree stays strong through the continued, diligent attentions of our people. Our wood remains merry. It is a safe place for its people. We are thankful for all that you do, in deeds great and deeds small.
