Communications[From the Tower] [Pegasus] [Cockatrice] [Tournaments Illuminated] [Compleat Anachronist] [Mailing Lists]Communications in the Modern Middle Ages does not require a quill or mule - though use of period communication practices is to be encouraged! The Barony currently supports a monthly From the Tower newsletter (available free electronically or in print for a modest subscription). Also available online is Pegasus, the Kingdom of Lochac's monthly newsletter, available only to members of SCA Australia or SCA New Zealand. The Kingdom of Lochac has a series of publications. Potentially of greatest general interest is the Kingdom arts and sciences publication Cockatrice. The SCA Inc. in the US also publishes and distributes a variety of publications, most notably Tournaments Illuminated and the Compleat Anachronist. Electronic communications, in the form of mailing lists also provide a means for people to ask questions, discuss issues and learn of upcoming events.
Mailing ListsTo participate in discussions, ask questions, talk to the populace and hear about forthcoming events, join the Southron Gaard Discussion list. If you want to receive only important announcements, generally of forthcoming events and activities, and no other postings, you can join the Southron Gaard Announcement list. (Please note that any posting made to Announcements is automatically forwarded to the Discussion list -- you do not have to join both.) If you want news and discussion associated with the University of Otago's College of St Kessog, join their list, and join join the Dunedin-based Canton of Castelburn's list for news of their events and activities. If you'd like to join in general discussions among the broader populace which inhabits these fair isles, both Southern and Northern, then join the Althing list. If you'd like to hear what's happening even further abroad, you can join the Kingdom of Lochac's mailing list, known as The Shambles.
