I have a section of my SCA files for newcomers and there are some files
there that might be of interest to you. One is an introduction to the
SCA which is periodically posted on the Rialto (rec.org.sca).

These files can be found at:
http://fermi.clas.virginia.edu/~gl8f/rialto/rialto.html

Or I can send them by email.

You might also want to buy or get a look at a book published by SCA Inc.
in Milpitas, CA called the "Known World Handbook". It is about half an
inch thick, costs about $13 and is full of articles on SCA history,
tradition, simple medieval clothing, feasts, SCA armor and combat and
crafts such as calligraphy and embroidery.

Most activities are centered around your local group. Hopefully someone
here from your area will contact you.
