For all new comers who want more information to read there is a thing such
as the Known World Handbook. It's available from the Elfsea Hospitaler for
$15.00 - Arabella

(Violet now steps up on the soap box)
I totally agree! As a newbie, I have only been able to get info about
upcomming events by asking friends who are already in the SCA (that is, if
they were available to ask, and it wasn't too late to do the next event). It
is difficult to know where to go, who to speak to etc. I can't even imagine
what it would be like to try to join, and not know a soul! I just recently
got on the email list (thank God) and am able to keep up more, but I think a
handbook would be great.
     What would be nice, is for it to have a mini dictionary in it WITH
ILLUSTRATION (which, I might add, I'd be willing to illustrate, providing
you give me the term AND what it is- since I'm new too) so that people will
be able to see not only what the whooey others are talking about, but will
give them an idea what things they might want to pursue. (Violet exits the
soap box)

In Service,
Violet of Glamorganshire
