Author Topic:   Social Clubs Nissa Member posted 09-27-2003 08:28 PM             Hello there - I am trying to get information about social clubs which include people who are interested in castles. Are there any clubs which do annual or bi-annual trips to castles? So my Topic is, Social Clubs which involve Castles - do they exist and where? (Hopefully they have muggle-access). As I live in California I would be most interested in those which are located in the US. Maybe a Renaissance club is the way to go? If you have any information or suggestions, please let me know. Thanks. Peter Moderator posted 09-28-2003 05:57 AM             Phew ! I wish there were a few clubs like that over here in the U.K. Although we do have the Castle Studies Group. I know there are Re-inactment Groups in the States. But whether they are more interested in bashing each other with replica weapons I'm not too sure. Will have a look for you; if someone doesn't give you the information (if any) first.

Their website is http://www.sca.org/ I don't know about any groups who tour castles. ------------------ "Carpe Dium" "Seize the Day" Peter Moderator posted 02-07-2004 05:19 AM             Thanks LadyCordelia, I'd forgotten those. We do have an American friend who visited a few years ago who belonged to them. Although I only live in a humble cottage, I do own a few 'pieces'. Our friend grabbed a battle-axe off the wall, and started to demonstrate a few moves with it. My wife and I dived to safety .... as I pointed out that due to our low ceilings, this was not a good idea !
