College of Three Ravens 2024:
“Back to Schola”
Hear ye, hear ye, the school bells a-ringing! Greetings good gentles of Aethelmearc! The Barony of Thescorre is pleased to announce that it’s time to go Back to Schola! That’s right, after a hiatus of our beloved in-person College of Three Ravens, we enthusiastically invite you all to join us on February 24, 2024 for our IN PERSON College of Three Ravens, where our theme is Back to School – A Return to Thescorre’s Traditional Schola !
It promises to be a full day of classes on every imaginable SCA-related subject, camaraderie as we jostle each other in the halls on our way to those classes, Arts and Sciences displays, and even the possibility of an A&S competition. We also are delighted to be able to host bardic and dancing after our early feast!
Our Schola will be held at Victory United Methodist Church, 106 East Main Street, Victor, NY 14564.
**Please note, there will be no fighting or fencing this year, but we welcome the fighting/fencing/thrown/archery communities to join us and tech classes on related topics, such as: footwork, armor building and care, rules/regulations, etc. **

Breakfast Board and Early Feast:
Oh, and the return of delectable food in the form of a BREAKFAST BOARD and early feast (with room a’plenty for those that want to brown bag it for the first day back to school)! That’s right, no school day is complete without a well-balanced breakfast – especially when that well-balanced breakfast board is created by Thescorre’s very own Baroness Sadira! And our feast, which will start at 3:30, will be led by Baroness Nuzha, leading young cooks of Thescorre and Æthelmearc to create a meal to tantalize the tastebuds of our attendees! You heard that correctly, we are celebrating the youth of our fair Sylvan lands and asking them to step into the role of feast cooks!
Breakfast will be a cross-cultural exploration of “What They Had for Breakfast” based on a book Baroness Sadira had as a child in relation to what has actually been found in recipe books from around the world during our period.
Dinner will be a roll-back in time to when Baroness Nez started cooking in the SCA. This is a memory feast – There are foods from the first feasts of Thescorre, rediscovered. Come eat with us and share your memories of year gone by.
Feast will be served buffet-style for 1.5 hrs to facilitate the continuance of classes or cleanup of classrooms while people begin to eat. There will be room in the main hall to sit and eat, or you can take your linner back to your next class.
