<p><b>New page</b></p><div>A function of the [[SCA]], usually featuring [[tournament]]s, but also any number of other activities including [[feast]]s, [[classes]] and [[Dancing]]. Participants at events are required to wear [[garb]]; newcomers may be able to borrow [[garb]] from the [[gold key]] to wear.<br />
<br />
While the [[SCA]] is non-profit, most events do charge a [[site fee]] to cover the costs of renting the site. In the Middle Kingdom a members receive a $5 discount.<br />
<br />
Events may be based on a particular theme, such as a particular time period or place in history like the "War of the Roses" or "Along the Silk Road" or around a specific activity like the [[Royal University]] or Grand [[Tournament]] of [[Target archery|Archery]]. Another popular theme are the many Medieval Holidays such as [[Wassail]], [[Twelfth Night]], or [[Candlemas]].<br />
<br />
Advertisements for events are posted in the Kingdom newsletter, [[The Pale]]. However, in this modern age, the [http://www.midrealm.org/calendar/ Kingdom Calendar] on the website is often people's first stop for the list of upcoming events.<br />

== Hosting and Running Events ==<br />
<br />
Events serve not only as an activity to attend (and volunteer for!), but also as an activity that is hosted by a group. Some of the events are hosted by the individual Shires and Cantons in the SCA. Others are hosted by the Baronies. The various Wars usually are events contesting between individual [[Barony|Baronies]] in the SCA, but also [[Kingdom|Kingdoms]]. The largest inter-Kingdom war is [[Pennsic]].<br />
<br />
Events, however, do not run themselves. Hosting an event is an exercise in planning, coordinating staff and volunteers, and gracefully handling the chaos of running the event itself. Groups do this work partially as a service to the SCA (it's what we do!), but also for status. It also helps that events are one of the primary fund raisers for individual groups across the year.<br />
<br />
This page will serve as the jump-off point for articles on running events.<br />
