Welcome to [[Cunnan]], a [[Wiki]] collecting information for [[re-enactor]]s of the [[Middle Ages]] and [[Renaissance]] with a heavy slant towards members of the [[SCA]].

[[Cunnan]] is believed to be the largest [[SCA]]-related wiki in the world but anyone can edit our articles. You should '''be bold in updating pages!''' Articles can only be improved if people are contributing new information and improving old information. So add research information, how-to pages, [[event]] information and anything else you can think of. Cunnan should be applicable worldwide, so be mindful of [[Cunnan:Regional_point_of_view|regional differences]] - use comments such as "In [[Lochac]]...". If you see anything that is different in your area, add a note on your local variation.<br>

The Magna Carta or Great Charter was a formal record of an agreement between [[King]] [[John Lackland|John]] of [[England]] and a rebellious group of [[baron]]s, sealed on 15 June 1215, at Runneymede meadow, outside Windsor.
Four copies remain of a series sent out to [[sheriff]]s for public dissemination. The Charter was annulled by [[Pope]] [[Innocent III]].

On 12 November 1216 the Charter was re-issued in the name of the 9-year-old [[Henry III]] by his [[regent]]s, with certain clauses omitted.

Rowany Festival

2018-07-09T01:16:41Z

Nico:

[[Image:Festivalwallabies.JPG|400px|right]]

The '''Rowany Festival''' (sometimes called just "Festival") is [[Australia]]'s largest [[SCA]] [[event]]. In [[2008]] it changed location to the Glenworth Valley [[Horse]] [[Riding]] centre, just north of [[Sydney]]. Anything that people do in the SCA (well, most things) will be on display in some form or other at Rowany Festival.

Festival happens every [[Easter]] long weekend - don't miss it for the world.

For more info, check out the website - http://www.sca.org.au/rowany/festival/

==Religious observance==
If [[religious]] reasons are inclined to slow down your attendance at an event over Easter, don't forget that a group of [[Christian]]s generally get together in a discreet place to hold a scheduled Easter Sunday mass. And if Pesach falls at the same time of year, I'm sure there will be people [[cooking]] in accordance with [[custom]]s - it's actually easier to avoid leavening agents in [[period]] cooking.

(Just so people are aware -- very occasionally, when Pesach does fall during Easter, a seder is held at the festival site. Contact [[User:Del|Del]] if you want to be included in this).

==[[Camping]] at Rowany Festival==
Hrmm... so you're coming along and don't know what to take? Perhaps you need a [[camping list]]?

==The history of Rowany Festival==
Rowany Festival officially came into being in [[1983]] ([[A.S. XVII]]), when it ran for four days, and cost $40 AUD. The [[2004]] Rowany Festival ran for six days, and cost a little more.

Rowany Festival has had five different locations - Fairholme Park in Wilton,
[[Tara]] Girl Guide camp in Silverdale, and the [[Crossroads]] medieval village site near Yass. In 2008 it moved to the [http://www.glenworth.com.au/ Glenworth Valley Horse Riding centre] near Peats Ridge, [[New South Wales]], and subsequently to Camp Wambaroo.
