You do not have to be a member of the SCA to take part in our activities. However, some events may incur a small fee for non-members in addition to any site fees, in order to assist with administrative costs of the Society. These are detailed in the section on event membership below.
While membership is not compulsory in order to participate, we do encourage regular participants to become members to assist with the running of the Society, provision of insurance and infrastructure and affiliation to the worldwide SCA. We have attempted to keep the cost of membership down in order to make membership affordable for as many people as possible.
You can join or renew your membership by using this online form or by filling out and mailing a downloadable membership form [PDF].
There are two classes of membership available: Subscribing Memberships and Event Memberships, which confer different privileges. Subscribing Memberships can be bought for one year or three years, with a good discount applying to the latter. Note that only Subscribing Memberships provide full rights to participation in the Society, including voting, entering Crown Tournaments or holding an office. If you travel, Subscribing Memberships also give you affiliate membership status with SCA groups overseas, e.g. in Australia, the US and Europe.
