The Unity College Medieval Club, known as the House of Wintermoor, will be holding a student club run Schola at Unity College on Saturday, April 23, 2016. There will be several instructors from the SCA teaching a wide variety of classes. The student club members have extended an invitation to join them at their schola for a day of shared learning. This college club is located in the Barony of Endewearde’s incipient Canton of Wyndriche and although this is not an official SCA event, we are eager to support their efforts and interests.

  • Parson’s Wing is part of the Student Activities & Gymnasium building. Classes appear to be held on second floor which is accessible by staircase (no elevator).

There is no information available as to whether there is a required admission fee to attend. The students do hope this will be a fund raiser for their club so please consider this to be a donation suggested activity.

SCA attendants are encouraged to wear garb (if practical during class activities) to enhance the general atmosphere and medieval “vibe” at the schola. Plan to bring your own lunch or grab something locally on or off campus in Unity.

The Seneschal of Wyndriche, Syr Cedric of Thanet, can be contacted informally at cedric@wyndriche.eastkingdom.org to share his knowledge of what the college students are planning for their Schola day.

Members of the Canton of Wyndriche extend our best wishes to the college students for a successful schola day!
