NEWCOMERS

Welcome! Whether you are new to the SCA, or familiar with the Society but new to Heorot Denu, come play with us!

Heorot Denu is a small but welcoming group. Our meetings are usually pretty casual; just come as you are.

 

- Info for those New to the SCA -

Interested but don't know where to start? The first step is to contact our Chatelaine, Baroness Isobel OR, send us a message through our contact page right here on the site. The goal of the Chatelaine is to guide new people by introducing them to SCA customs and fostering their interests. The chatelaine also has access to clothing that has been donated for newcomer use, as well as access to dishes for feasts at events, and fighting gear. Also check out the SCA Welcome Portal, it's a great starting point.

 

A few helpful tips:

1. The SCA is about participation, so come prepared to try new activities. The more you try, the more you learn. AND, you do NOT have to be a paid member to participate!

2. Don't feel like you have to try everything all at once, or learn everything all at once.

3. Ask questions - don’t be shy!

4. Just remember SCA folks are really excited about this hobby. Don’t let us overwhelm you - ask us to slow down.

5. The SCA has its own jargon. Please ask if you don't always know what people mean. Ask! It’s how you will learn. Soon, you too, will be speaking “SCAdian”.

 

We look forward to sharing all that the SCA has to offer!

If you have any questions or would like more information please feel free to email our Chatelaine directly at
