User:Robin of Twyford

Robin of Twyford is the SCA name (Society for Creative Anachronism) for Roy Worrall. Roy is no longer a paid member of the SCA, but still keeps in contact with several current members.

Roy is a current member of a medieval group known as the Knights' Guild of Wessex and Mercia Inc (KGWM). They are based in Brisbane and research and present life in England from 1150 to 1220 AD.

Most people research and make their own clothing, armour and other objects, but there are places in and around Brisbane where ready-made weaponry and armour may be purchased. Some of our members make boots, knives or clothing, for example, which they barter for other necessary items, which they cannot make for themselves.

There is no real specialisation, as all members try to show the whole of the spectrum of activities available in the 12th C. However, there are several subgroups within the whole; Garderobe - the music group, the Lance - the fighters, Gebeorscipe (pronounced as yebeership) - the younger members group and an archery group.

Ages of people involved in KGWM range from newborn to over 60. However, full voting members must be over 18 years old.
