The College of St Basil the Great

Here at UWASCA we are but one chapter of an international organization with one common interest, that interest being recreating and reliving life as it was before the year 1600. Well... the good bits of it anyway, which means much feasting, fighting and general merry-making. Chapters of the SCA that are based in universities are referred to as Colleges. In Perth we have two: St. Basil's here at UWA and St Lazarus at Murdoch. We hold 'training' twice a week with our Thursday session followed by 'Arts and Sciences' (a.k.a costuming). Come and meet us on the Oak Lawn every Tuesday and Thursday during semester from 4pm to find out more or get involved.

The Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA), according to legend, came into being in America when somebody threw a big medieval themed party sometime during the 60s. Many of the guests had so much fun they thought it should become a more regular occurrence. Since that fateful day the Society has grown from a group of people who like getting dressed up at weekends, to a worldwide community of people... who like getting dressed up at weekends. The 'Knowne Worlde' of the SCA refers to all the countries that have SCA chapters, which are divided first into kingdoms, then principalities, baronies and shires.
