The Middle Ages in South East Melbourne. The Barony of Krae Glas is part of the Kingdom of Lochac. It has members who study every aspect of medieval life.

The Barony of Krae Glas is part of the Kingdom of Lochac and we are a regional branch of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA). Our members are generally in the southeastern suburbs of Melbourne. Our borders also encompass the College of St Monicas (Monash Clayton) and 2 Hamlets (In Northeastern Suburbs and also Gippsland)

The Society for Creative Anachronism is an international, non-profit, educational society celebrating pre-17th century history. We are brewers, archers, calligraphers, heralds, fencers, spinners, blacksmiths, costumers, dancers, cooks and armoured fighters. We enjoy feasting, spinning, needlepoint, equestrian, leather-work, bead-work, socializing, live weapons competition, period music, theatre and much more. If someone did it back then, you can bet someone is trying to do it now.

Curious about what November has in store for Krae Glas? Wonder no more!

Every week we meet at from 7pm at the Dolphin's Keep (24 Mons Parade, Noble Park) for our Thursday Night Gathering & Training (on the 5th, 12th, 19th & 26th)! Both rapier & armoured swordfighting for all experience levels will be found here, as well as non-combatants meeting to chat & work on their Arts & Sciences projects!

The first Thursday gathering of the month (the 5th) is also home to our Fibre Guild! If you enjoy the softer side of crafts, come join us for a chat & show off your spinning, weaving, knitting, nålebinding & so on!

The Dolphin's Keep also hosts another regular activity, this month with a little something extra! On Saturday the 14th from 2pm, is our Crafthall (Destash market + Garb Planning) + Potluck! Instead of a class this month, we will be focusing on Garb planning! If your wardrobe needs an update (or you're just starting out), you won't want to miss this session! Bring your ideas & the supplies you have (or a list of them) & get help turning it into a wardrobe!

But wait, there's more! Low on supplies? Too many supplies you don't want any more? Never fear, the Destash Market is here!

Sewing machines, fabric, quilting supplies & more will all be available at Crafthall for very reasonable prices! No need to reserve a space, we have plenty of tables! Just bring what you want to destash (or some cash to shop with... or both!) & have fun!

After all that planning & shopping & crafting (& perhaps getting in some fighter training outside), we're sure to be hungry... just in time for our community potluck dinner! All contributions to the meal are appreciated, though medieval & medieval-inspired foods are especially beloved!

Not everything is at the Keep, however! Our November Archery & War Training at Noble Park Secondary College will be held a week earlier than normal on Sunday the 8th, from 1-4pm. Hanbal Bahadur al Barbari (Sir Hanbal) had so much fun last month, that he will be returning in November for more War coaching! Our War training is great fun for archers & heavy fighters alike, so if you're wanting to improve your skills on the warfield or even looking to join the fray for the first time, this is the place to be!

Our all-ages target-based activities will be happening at the same time as well & as always, we will have plenty of bows, arrows & some armour (BYO groin protection) available for loan. All experience levels welcome!

The monthly Council meeting will be hosted via Zoom on Tuesday the 17th. Zoom details will be released closer to the date.

All of this month's activities are newcomer-friendly & require no bookings, special clothing or gear to attend. For more information on any of our activities, please see our website or the relevant Facebook event pages.

If so, October Archery & War Training is the place for you!

Tomorrow (Sunday) from 1-4pm at Noble Park Secondary College, Hanbal Bahadur al Barbari (Sir Hanbal) will be leading the charge into all things war! Both archers & heavy fighters will benefit from this fun & immersive training session! If you've been wanting to get authorised for combat, this training is a great first step!

Combatants are encouraged to bring their own armour if they have it (be aware you will need a mesh helm approved for combat archery!), though there will be some armour you can borrow (please BYO groin protection). We will also have plenty of bows & arrows (both sharps & combat blunts!) available to loan out for folks who don't have their own, as well as separate targets for folks who'd prefer to shoot at things that stay still.

For more details please see our website or Facebook event page. Photo by Julia of the Ravens, caption suggested by Hanbal Bahadur al Barbari.

Crafthall (Soapmaking) + Potluck is happening tomorrow (Saturday)! From 2pm at the Dolphin's Keep (24 Mons Parade, Noble Park), Lady Blythe Venell will be teaching us how to make Tudor Wash Balls! This is an authentic (& easy!) way to dip your toes in the waters of soapmaking. Price for materials is $8 per person.

It's not all suds at the Keep, though! Everyone is invited to bring their own projects, do some (child-safe) axe throwing, play some music, get in some fighter practice, work on some research, or just come for the welcoming vibes & great company!

There will also be a potluck dinner served around 5-6pm. If you have a historical dish you've been wanting to try out (or show off!), our potlucks are the perfect test audience! If not, modern foods are always welcomed as well.

Spring has sprung in Krae Gras & we've heard our warriors have been getting restless during these past Winter months!

This month, our Combat Archery Training will have a particular focus: WAR! Special guest Hanbal Bahadur al Barbari (Sir Hanbal) will be joining us at October Archery & War Training to share his experience as a war knight & teach the tricks & strategies of war! We will, of course, still have our usual all-ages archery activities as well, but for our combatants (both archers & heavy fighters) who would like to gain more war experience, this will be a real treat!

Our archery field will, as usual, be at Noble Park Secondary College from 1-4pm on Sunday the 18th & will have plenty of bows, arrows & some armour (BYO groin protection) available for loan.

Keen to practise your one-on-one battles as well? As always our Thursday Night Gathering & Training happens every week (on the 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd & 29th) from 7pm at the Dolphin's Keep (24 Mons Parade, Noble Park)! Here we host training in both rapier & armoured combat for all experience levels. Non-fighters need not feel left out, you are invited to come along as well to have a chat or work on an an Arts & Sciences project! The first gathering of the month also plays host to our Fibre Guild meetups, where fans of turning fluff into fabric talk about our latest projects over a cup of tea!

Also at the Dolphin's Keep, on Saturday the 10th from 2pm, is our Crafthall (Soapmaking) + Potluck! This month Lady Blythe Venell will be running a class on how to make Tudor Wash Balls! This is a simple & fun class (very child friendly!) on how to make easily-customised soaps, as they were done during the 16th Century. Materials will be provided at a cost of $8 per person.

For those not into soap, bring your current project & come along for a fun & laid back hangout, try out our (all-ages) axe throwing set, or do some fighter practise in the yard!

Our community potluck dinner also returns to Crafthall this month, after its very brief hiatus! Medieval foods are encouraged, but not required.

Lastly, the monthly Council meeting will be held on Tuesday the 13 via Zoom. Zoom details will be released closer to the date.

All of this month's activities are newcomer-friendly & require no bookings, special clothing or gear to attend. For more information on any of our activities, please see our website or the relevant Facebook event pages.

Since our Tales From The Populace posts were so popular after the Midwinter Hunt, we've decided we should do them for the Birthday Ball as well!

If you have a favourite moment or story to tell from the Birthday Ball, let us know! Leave a comment here, or send us a message/email ([email protected]) & we'll share some of the stories on our page!

We hope you all had a fun night!

Who is excited for the Krae Glas Birthday Ball tomorrow night?

To those of you who have already paid, your Stewards & Bookings Officer adore you! Thank you for helping make the evening go smoother!

For those who have booked & not yet paid, consider paying from the comfort of your own home today! Paying in advance makes signing in much quicker & easier, not only for you, but for everyone in line behind you! Payment instructions are in your booking confirmation email.

To our (many!) volunteers, your Stewarding team are eternally grateful! Most of you will have been contacted with your assignments by now, with the exception of kitchenhands, who will be tapped-in as required. We had so many volunteers that not everyone was needed, so if you volunteered for a non-kitchen role, but haven't been given a task? Consider yourself off duty!

For everyone who missed out... you'll just have to wait for the photos!
