A branch of the Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc (SCA), the Shire of Cragmere meets often to learn, to teach, and to enjoy each other's company within the framework of the society's goal: to revive some of the better aspects of the European Middle Ages and early Renaissance.

Shire Activities


Socials and Council Meetings


Call the Seneschal (Meredith) for details: 338-2891 or email Meredith.

All are welcome to our Socials. Generally held in garb, a potluck, and with activities similar to what might be found at larger events, focused more on socializing. Site is Halbe Hall in Black Creek on the old Island Highway, south of Campbell River and north of Courtenay.

Council meetings begin at 3:00 p.m. and all are welcome; there is no charge for council meetings only.

Socials begin at 4:30 p.m. following the council meeting. All Socials are $5.00 for adults; children under 16 are free.

April 5th. - Council and Social - hosted by HL Doireann
- We are getting ready for the Tourney season. Council will be starting at 3:00 pm. There is a $5 fee (+ potluck contribution!) to attend the Social following Council, at 4:30. The Social will feature ideas to make your SCA encampment more medieval-appearing. We will also be having a Bardic Circle. You can sing a song, tell a (short!) story, or do a short skit if you like (by yourself or in a group), or request a group song. There will be some songsheets.

May 3rd. - Council and Social - hosted by Lady Muirgen
- We are doing more towards being ready for the Tourney season, including a display of the challenge set at the previous Social.

If you have more info about the Social you are Sponsoring, please post it in so HL Halima can put it up on the Cragmere page.

Remember the ingredients list for the Potluck! Remember to bring any serving and preparation equipment required for your potluck contribution. And if you bring something Period within the Theme we are studying, please bring the recipe.
