Oldenfeld Events

In Oldenfeld we make a valiant effort to stay busy, and allow people the opportunity to be as actively involved in shire activity as they want to be. Several regularly scheduled gatherings occur in Oldenfeld to promote Shire activities and promote individual ability to be increasingly active and significant in the world of SCA.

The next big local event is Lion's Tourney on the weekend of May 5th through 7th. A page with directions to Camp Indian Springs is available for those who need them. There are also plenty of local activity and events elsewhere in Trimaris well worth one's attention before Lions Tournet rolls around, so be sure to take a look at the Oldenfeld Calendar to see what else is happening.

Speaking of local activities, some recent additions to the regularly scheduled activities are the monthly meeting of the Cooks Guild and a monthly, scheduled opportunity to learn period dance. The Company of Saint Jude, an organization dedicated to the running and promotion of authentic period-style lysts, heraldry, and chivalry, is a kingdom wide organization based in Oldenfeld which conducted the Pas d'arms and Bear Pit Tourney for the recently held Oldenfeld Anniversary Event, and will be involved in the tournament for the upcoming Lion's Tourney as well. The Brewers & Tunners Guild started late in 1999 and will be meeting on a regular basis, meeting times to be determined. Watch the calender for specific times and dates.
