Weekly Event Descriptions
SCA Training

Unofficial Bergental Heavy List fighter practice. The "Martial Art" of the SCA Heavy List combat is taught at this practice by Lady Talon the Black, former Knight Marshal of Bergental and a long time fighter in the SCA. We will help people learn about the SCA in general, how to fight safely, and have fun doing so. We will also provide as much assistance as we can with getting armoured up and weapon in hand. We start at noon and run until people don't feel like fighting. We also welcome anyone interested in the SCA in any way. For more information go to http://www.bergental.org/.
