Boredom Busters: handy links and resources Upcoming Events All events and meetings Southron Gaard calendarFrom 1 June 2020, all New Zealand SCA groups can resume in person activities in line with easing of COVID-19 restrictions. Huzzah! Contact tracing documents will be required for events. Please contact our Seneschal for further information. Southron Gaard Welcome to the Barony of Southron Gaard, wherein you may step back in time to the world before 1600. Join us and dance at a Tudor court, draw a Mongol bow, cheer a chivalrous French knight, relax in Heian hakama, listen to a Norse saga, swap war stories with a Persian man-at-arms, cook a feast from the Murghal Empire. Southron Gaard is based in the South Island of New Zealand (principally in Christchurch, Dunedin and now in Timaru and Nelson) and is a branch of the international non-profit educational organisation, the Society for Creative Anachronism, New Zealand (SCANZ). The SCA is dedicated to the research and recreation of pre-17th century life and cultures, with a particular focus on its practical applications in arts and sciences, including costuming, cooking, martial arts, dance, calligraphy and illumination, metalwork, archery, music and much, much more. Our organisation's initial focus was on Western Europe's Middle Ages and Renaissance. While that remains a strong influence, over the past 50 years we've broadened our scope to explore the many and varied pre-1600 cultures from around the world. Come join us and see history with new eyes. See the box at right for to-the-minute information on current activities.

Check it out, and if you know of other content that should be included, please contact the Webscribe with your recommendation.Fighter Auction Tournament The Fighter Auction Tornament is held at Canterbury Faire. The first tournament was held in AS XLII. At the auction, people can bid for the fighters. If a fighter does well in the Tournament, their sponsor also prospers, having an opportunity to select a suitable prize from the items of largesse which are donated to the Fighter Tourney. The proceeds from the auction are held in a fund by the Barony. People can apply to the Barony for money from this fund to support a project or activity. More details about the Fighter Auction Tourney and how to apply for funds is available here.Event Sponsorship facilitation system The Baron and Baroness will facilitate sponsorship of event fees, taking requests for and offers of sponsorship and then allowing sponsors to choose (if they wish) who they will sponsor. Full details are available here, and if you have any questions, please contact the Baron & Baroness. Join the SCA!
