I live in Denmark. A few years back, there wasn't even a single SCA group there. There still almost isn't one. We started out hot, but most people didn't have the drive to keep it running. So we basically fell apart again.
We are a few, keeping a small flame going, but it's tough, as i'm basically the only one keeping it going except once a year.
Denmark is special, in the way of SCA. We are not that big a country, and those that are into this genre, well, the young ones, play larps, and the mature ones, basically do reenactment. Between them, where SCA falls, is not much space. So our mission here is to bring both groups together.
We probably won't get many from reeenactment to join us, not untill we get a big community running. Now larpers, well we could get tons of them. But then we would have a ton of larpers trying to do sca larp style. That would be bad.
What i feel we need, is to get a basic group of at least 8-10 people with really good sca equipment. Not just standard, but preferably a bit above. Metal armor, well sewn clothing, the works.
Then we could start recruiting the larpers, because they would then right away see what they could aspire to.
Now if i recruited larpers now, most would only see our plastic armor, and think that is all that's ever needed. So i'm reluctant to recruite them.
But i am preparing for the big recruitment drive, and for that, i have been working on a recruitment DVD. Then i had a harddisk crash and have lost it all. So now i have to start all over again and find new material to use to compose it.
Basically it's going to have as the main feature, the two tv reports on Gulf wars i have my hands on. And then alot of the small videos i have been able to find. Nothing big or perfect, but enough to show something.
And then it's going to have a huge slideshow of fotos from the sca, with a soft mideaval background music. To have running while you answer questions.
This is ofcourse going to be free for all that want to use it, and fully downloadable...
well i'm off, looking for more videos for it..
take care all...

Greetings! We, Björn and Wilja, prince and princess of Nordmark, have some ideas that might help you in your most noble quest for recruiting people into the SCA. It would be excellent if you could contact us, since I might be blind, but I cannot find any e-mail or other way of contacting you via this site. Easiest way is to write to fursten@nordmark.org
Best wishes.

Hi
Does this mean the the danish SCA doent exist anymore. Your E-mail on Drachenwald doenst exist anymore.
I was at an information meeting in MAlmö, where the local SCA Shire had the meeting and a banquet after the meeting. IK find the SCA quite interesting.
