EnglishHow to Find Upcoming Events and News for the Barony of Hawkwood
Updated
The Barony of Hawkwood, a branch of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) in western North Carolina, publishes its upcoming events on its Baronial Calendar page, and its current news appears in the Recent Posts section of the website. If you want to keep up with baronial activities beyond the site itself, the barony also points members and visitors to its Facebook Group, public Facebook Page, Google Group ("Talon Talk"), and an unofficial Discord server.
Start with the Baronial Calendar
The website states directly that "Upcoming events can be found on our Baronial Calendar page." This is the primary, authoritative place to check dates for tournaments, feasts, courts, and other activities. If you only want to know what is happening next, go there first.
Check Recent Posts for current news
The homepage includes a Recent Posts section, which is where the barony surfaces current news and updates. Note that the page as captured shows no comments, archives, or categories populated — so if Recent Posts looks empty, the site may simply not have published anything recently, and you should rely on the calendar and social channels instead.
Use the navigation menu for context
The site's navigation menu is the intended path to learn more about the SCA and the people and events that make up the Barony of Hawkwood. Use it when you need background — for example, what the SCA is, what a barony or canton is — rather than for time-sensitive event listings.
Follow the barony on social and group channels
| Channel | Who it is for | How to join |
|---|---|---|
| Talon Talk (Google Group) | People living within the Barony | Email the Baronial Webminister to be added |
| Facebook Group | Members living within Hawkwood's lands | Join via the group link on the site |
| Public Facebook Page | Interested parties outside the Barony | Like the page to follow baronial goings-on |
| Unofficial Discord server | Anyone interested | Join at the invite link posted on the site |
The distinction matters: the Facebook Group and Talon Talk are aimed at those within the barony's territory, while the public Facebook Page is explicitly for people who do not live within it.
Know the structure behind the listings
Hawkwood is the second youngest barony in the Kingdom of Atlantia, which covers Washington, DC, Maryland, Virginia, North and South Carolina, and Augusta, GA. The barony has two cantons, Stormwall and Haukesgate. Events may be run at the baronial or canton level, so if a calendar entry references a canton, that is a sub-group within Hawkwood rather than a separate organization.
Practical checklist
- Open the Baronial Calendar page for confirmed upcoming events.
- Scan Recent Posts on the homepage for the latest announcements.
- If you live in the barony, email the Baronial Webminister to join Talon Talk, and join the Facebook Group.
- If you live outside the barony, like the public Facebook Page instead.
- Join the unofficial Discord server if you prefer chat-based updates.
One caveat: the site does not state how often the calendar or posts are updated, so treat social channels as a supplement rather than a replacement for the calendar when confirming event details.
