What is a Hamlet you ask?

A hamlet is a social group within the game, but is not a formal SCA entity in the same sense as a Shire, Canton or Barony. It has a minimum membership of five people. It is easiest to think of a hamlet as the next step up from a household – but it is distinct from a household because, once established, it is a recognised entity that is not tied to any one person, household or family.

At the time House Radburne was formed, Hamlets were not a ‘thing’ – now we have that option, we are working on becoming a Hamlet for the geographic area encompassing Narromine, Dubbo, Gilgandra, Mudgee/Lue, Orange and Bathurst in Central West NSW. The group will still be supported by the Shire of Dismal Fogs.

The paperwork has been lodged with the Lochac Kingdom Seneschal to start the process – updates will be posted here as things progress. Watch this space!
