"Shire of Castlemere"
is a chapter of the "Society for Creative
Anachronism" located in the Great Kingdom
of Trimaris. In the real world we are located in Jacksonville, Florida with members in
Duvall, Nassau, St. Johns, and Clay Counties.
The Society for Creative Anachronism (or S.C.A.) is a
nonprofit organization dedicated to recreating the ambiance of the Middle Ages and the
Renaissance before 1600 AD, concentrating on the Western European High Middle Ages but
branching out into many non-European cultures. Persons attending events must wear their
best effort at pre-17th Century dress (garb). |
