It is the job of the Chatelaine to answer any questions that a newcomer has about the SCA. They are responsible for introducing you to all different ways of playing in the Society, whether it is fighting or service. A Chatelaine is also the person that a newcomer goes to when they need something to wear until they are able to make/purchase their own garb. The Chatelaine’s office also sponsors get togethers for the group in order to get newcomers and veteran members together in an environment where they are more comfortable. For example, trips to the zoo or movies are great ways to get newcomers and veterans more involved on a social level.
The Chatelaine’s office also holds regular classes on subjects that allow newcomers in the SCA to become more involved. These include, but are not limited to:
Chatelaine
