Lilies War update – Schedule / Newcomers Glen / Volunteering

Greetings from your Lilies War “Drums of War” Staff! Read on for this week’s Lilies War updates and announcements:

Full schedule available on the website!

We know that it’s easier to coordinate your event (and also volunteer) when you know that you’ll be free. The full schedule is available on the website so you can plan your event and get excited about the fun activities you’ll be part of!

The schedule is online here: https://www.lilieswar.org/schedule/

Each Activity area has their own schedule, so you can filter the main schedule to find the information you need. Or you can head to each activity area on the website for an already filtered view.

More activities may appear on the schedule after the 10th May cut off for the site book, so please check back often to confirm

Are you new to Lilies War? Then the Newcomers Glen, and the Meet & Greet are for you!

Newcomers’ Glen provides a clearly defined and welcoming encampment with easy-to-follow camp rules, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for newcomers from all walks of life. Our focus on inclusiveness extends to dietary and basic camping needs, such as an allergy-conscious meal plan and basic loaner tents available at no cost to the newcomer. We offer a range of in-camp activities and classes specifically designed for newcomers, covering essential skills and building knowledge of the inner workings of the SCA, our Kingdom, and Lilies War. All Newcomers to the SCA, Calontir, or Lilies War are welcome.

More information available on the website here: https://www.lilieswar.org/lilies-war/newcomers/

Also join us for the Chatelaine and Newcomer Meet and Greet – first Saturday 7th June from 2-4pm

A meet and greet hosted by the Society Chatelaine for newcomers to meet chatelaines and help get set for the war ahead. General questions, a site walk, and a schedule overview.

Volunteer now!

We are delighted by the number of willing volunteers we already have signed up to help us for Lilies. This event is made great because of the effort you all contribute, and so if you are able we would love to have you join our volunteer crew. We need gate workers, marshals, heralds, port o’ john re-stockers, shower house clean-up crew, and so much more. Thank you to everyone that has already volunteered, and to those that will soon.
