| The Shire of Esfenn |
Welcome to the Shire of Esfenn, located in the Principality of the Mists in the Kingdom of the West. We are bordered on the north by the Province of the Mists, on the
northeast by the Shire of Teufelberg, and on the south by the Shire of Crosston.
In the modern world, we are located in Southern Alameda County, CA.
The Shire of Esfenn is part of the Society for Creative Anachronism, an international organization dedicated to researching and re-creating pre-17th-century European history.
Events:
Our annual event is the First Sword Tournament, in which our champion "First Sword" is chosen. The next First Sword is on July 14.
Help Needed:
Deputies and/or successors are needed for the offices of exchequer, herald, and marshal. Please see the officer list.
Meetings:
The meetings are now quarterly, and are held at the home of Catherine of Wessex and Geoffrey Scott. The meetings start promptly at 7:30 PM. The next meeting is: Wednesday, July 11th. For more information and directions please e-mail seneschal@esfenn.org.
Monthly Activities:
There are Armoring/Arts and Sciences workshops on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays at 7:30 PM at Catherine and Geoffrey's. For more information please e-mail Catherine at arts@esfenn.org.
Tuesday Night Practice:
The Fremont practice is held Tuesday nights at the Fremont Tennis Center at 1110 Stevenson Blvd. This practice is now the main South Bay practice for the Principality of the Mists.
Sir John tries to get there by 5 p.m. for unarmoured teaching, training, and drills. The armoured practice usually starts by 7:30 p.m and goes until everyone has had enough. If you get there early, and no one is there, wait around for a while since sometimes Hwy 880 gets congested and it takes a bit longer to get there than anticipated.
The site has plenty of parking and nice grass to fight on. There is even a bathroom and a water fountain right there at the tennis center. Please come and join us.
