NOTES FOR NEWCOMERS
 
Spring Revel is a low-key, local event, where the Barony of Cynnabar gets together to eat and socialize, make a few announcements, and have fun. It's a good opportunity for the people of the Barony to gather all in one group. Think of it like a picnic!
 
You'll want to wear garb to Spring Revel. If you don't have garb, would you like to borrow some?
 
One reason we wear garb to the event is because we take our annual photo of the Barony. You can see last year's photo on our homepage. Anyone who considers themself to be part of Cynnabar is welcome in our photo. Please don't feel shy--if you come to Cynnabar meetings, practices, and events, we already think of you as a member. :)
 
The day ends with a potluck. Most people bring drinks and something to grill for themselves, plus a dish to share with others. Of course, all kinds of variations on this are okay! We acquired an alcohol license at the site, so if you would like to bring alcoholic beverages, please do. Also, if you bring a dish with potential allergens (eggs, fish, shellfish, citrus fruits, milk, tree nuts, peanuts, shellfish, soy, wheat, etc.), please mark it as such.
 
Because it saves paper waste and adds to the pre-seventeenth century feel of the event, we are encouraging everyone to bring their own feast gear to the potluck (instead of providing disposable dishes). For each person, you need a cup or mug, a plate or bowl, and silverware. It can also be convenient to bring napkins and some kind of container to store your dirty dishes after the meal.
 
If you are bringing children with you, please read our youth policy--it's very important!
 
Still have questions about the event? Please contact Lady Edelgard, who is organizing the event, or see the event's Facebook page!

Although the SCA complies with all applicable laws to ensure the health and safety of our event participants, we cannot eliminate the risk of exposure to infectious diseases during in-person events. By participating in the in-person events of the SCA, you acknowledge and accept the potential risks. You agree to take any additional steps to protect your own health and safety and those under your control as you believe to be necessary.
New to Cynnabar?
Whether you're a newcomer to our fair Barony or are just curious about who we are and what we do, we invite you to join us at our Spring Revel! This is a wonderful opportunity to meet us in a casual atmosphere and observe our fighters and artisans, lords and ladies, doing what they love best. If you're interested in joining at the Spring Revel and you're new to Cynnabar and/or the SCA, send an e-mail to me (Chatelaine/Newcomer Liaison) so I can welcome you and help you get some garb for the event!
