Reeve

211.28.191.111: soem group sappriecate their reeve.

A '''Reeve''' is the SCA [[officer]] who acts as the group [[treasurer]]. They deal with all the [[mundane]] [[financial issue]]s of the group/s, keeping financial records and accounts, and ensuring the group/s they are in charge of are not running themselves into debt!

In some areas the reeve is possibly an underappreciated job. Hug a Reeve Today!

Thrusting tip

2003-09-25T09:58:47Z

211.28.191.111: blert

Specifically for sca combat:

The tip of a sword that is slightly padded and has [[progressive give]]. On two handed sword or pole weapons they must be 2 inches across and have 2 inches give, and you may not be able to fold the end of the padding over to feel the end of the [[rattan]].

on a single handed sword, you may use a LPTT - a Low Profile Thrusting Tip. These are the same width as a sword and have less give.

See your [[kingdom]] [[conventions of combat]] for more info.

Art

2003-09-25T07:47:55Z

211.28.191.111:

'''Art''', for most of [[period]], was something that only the rich were involved in to any great extent. This is not unlike the restricted access to [[education]] in period.

Art itself is mostly aptly described as 3 [[bicycles]], a [[toilet]], and a metal [[flower]] in a [[wheel burrow]], all cast in [[bronze]] - apparently 'form with no useful purpose' - for example a [[spoon]] can be deemed 'art' but is also a [[tool]].
