There are indeed several such groups. They are worth a try. However,  
I would first see about reading the files that I mentioned and see if  
they don't give you some ideas. The SCA can be a very good place to  
meet folks. Among other things, the SCA provides plenty of excuses,  
er, reasons to go up to someone and open a conversation with them.  
You can ask about the craft they are doing, the fighting, about the  
culture they appear to be dressed for, whether they made or bought or  
found a particular ornament or piece of jewelry etc. This often can  
work well for the shy folks, such as myself.

Also, take advantage of the wide variety of activities and classes  
which the SCA provides. If your local group has a dance guild, they  
can be a good place. And you can often meet a lot of interesting  
folks working gate or helping prepare feast, or whatever.

There is also this file in the same SCA-SOCIOLOGY section to keep in  
mind. While it is possible to create a wonderful relationship with  
folks outside the SCA, often it seems that that can be much more  
difficult than one where both partners play in the SCA.

Good luck!

Hmmm. There is also this Florilegium file:  :-)
