Citadel Newcomer Class Schedule
Class #1 – Overview and Introduction to the SCA Monday, June 17, 2019 6:00pm
What exactly is the SCA and how did it come about? Where do I go and who do I see about joining, interacting and participating…
Class #2 – Heraldry & Persona Development Monday, June 24, 2019 6:00pm
This class will introduce the newcomer to the various items of heraldry and awards in the Society and more specifically to the Kingdom and Barony in which we reside. Persona development will be explained and how it, and heraldry, is extremely useful to those in the Society.
Class #3 – Fitting In & Getting Acquainted Monday, July 1, 2019 6:00pm
This class will cover the etiquette of the Society including behavior at camping events, at feast, at court and during events in general.

Groups within the Society such as Households, Guilds, Troops and other groups will be discussed along with the pros and cons of joining or not joining said groups. Also discussed will be the creation and status of “dependents” (a term I use) – squires, provosts (students), men-at-arms, apprentices & protégées (students).
Other questions addressed will include – what is a Peerage and how is it attained? How does one become “the Crown”? Why do the Royals get special treatment? These questions and those like them will be discussed during this meeting.

The possibilities for newcomers to explore in the Arts & Sciences in the Society are almost endless. This class will start the newcomer on the road to enlightenment on where to go to begin!
