Hargrave Hall, Archway
Hargrave Rd,N19 5SP
We're extending our revel dates so we can do more stuff!
Afternoon activities (in modern clothes) focus on Trying Out New Stuff, or on shire projects, as announced.
Examples:
- sewing a sunshade for the shire
- trying out calligraphy and illumination
- learning the basics of rapier combat
- dance instruction - learning the 10 Drachenwald dances!
From 6pm onward, we start the revel.
Schedule is relaxed: some hanging out, some music, some food, some dancing, in no particular order.
Medieval clothing encouraged, if you have it. If not, contact the seneschal to arrange for a loaner outfit.
Del's dance book, available
from the SCA Ren Dance homepage - free to dowload/distribute.
These are *modern transcriptions* of period pieces, aimed at SCA audiences and players; all the usual cautions about risks of interpretation apply.

Please bring:
- nibbles and drinks to share: we have access to a kitchen w/ microwave, but no stove or oven
