membership is not required to go to sca events. some of us hard core types buy them to support the kingdoms and to get a few perks but you dont -have- to have it.

"I never had the money to buy anything to dress up in."

almost ever SCA group has "Gold Key". its garb that others have donated for new people or those who can not afford their own.

Thanks for the information it made me want to give it a shot.
