Southron Gaard
Guilds and Other Subgroups

Like most SCA branches, Southron Gaard has a plethora of subgroups of various types.

• Guilds are officially recognised groups interested in (usually) a particular art or craft. They are open to everyone.
• Households are usually semi-organised groups of friends who wish to get together for one or more SCA-related purposes of some sort and view themselves as a unit in this context. They have no official status and may or may not be interested in taking on new members.
• Many other sorts of informal group, public and private, also exist.

The following is an incomplete list of the various groups. It includes a number which are currently quiescent, either because they may well reactivate at some stage or because they were once important.

Guilds

Southron Gaard Guilds tend to pop up, vanish, pop up again and so on. The only currently active guilds are:

• Seamsters Guild meets monthly to work on collective or individual projects
• Guild of Terpsichore meets every week to practice dancing
• Brewers' Guild is currently inactive

Households

• Swift Flight Light Infantry Company
  The Swift Flight Company is a household of archers, formed in 1992. Although it is a private group, membership is essentially open to anyone wanting to join. It is less active than it was a few years back.
• Amberhearth
  Private household.
• The Black Household
  Loosely associated group of people, mostly with KAOS connections. Does not have formal memberships.
• Steel Knot
  The Steel Knot is no longer active as a household. Some years back, it provided many of the officers and most of the fighters of the then Shire. Individual members still abound.

Other Groups

• Singing Group is currently quiescent but may reactivate -- contact Beatrice
• The Company of Saint Sebastian once ran Pas d'Armes during the summer months. It has since gone inactive. Contact Ulf if interested.
