|
Our Arts and Sciences Officer is Lady Aethelwyn of Ashgrove | ||
Arts and Sciences are just what they sound like. The line between what is an "art" and what is a "science" is
often blurred, hence one person organizes workshops in both areas, and helps people find others to help them in specific
areas of interest. | ||
The Chatelaine is the person who helps Newcomers. If you are newly joining the SCA, or just visiting an event because the pavilions caught your eye as you drove past the park, this is the person who will answer your questions. And if they can't, they'll help you find someone who can.
