HELD on the last full weekend of February each year Border War is the largest event our local Shire presents each year.

The Incipient Shire of Border's Crossing hosted the first Border War in February 1999, just four months after forming. At that war, a battle was held to decide which Barony would be mentors to the fledgling Shire: Politarchopolis, approx 3.5 hours north, or Stormhold, approx 3.5 hours south.  Politarchopolis won. 

However, in the ensuing year it was Stormhold's Hanbal & Ute, Æddan and Eleanora, and other members of the 'Flying Ypottryll' who came up for most of the monthly bashes, to marshal the tourneys, train the fighters and teach A&S skills such as costuming and cookery to the Shire.  So in  2000  the War was fought again... and a tradition was begun.

In 2008, the Shire of Bordescros held its TENTH Border War at which we had the pleasure of Royal Patronage, when King Berengar and Queen Bethan attended, delighting us with their prowess on the field and Her Majesty's delightful singing.

In AS44 (2010) we will be running our twelfth Border War just north east of Loch Alba...  WATCH THIS SPACE FOR A LINK...

Held in the Barony of Rowany (Sydney Area) each year,  Rowany Festival runs for six days over Easter.  Click here for a link to the Festival webpage.

Currently, Rowany Festival is held at Glenworth Valley, a beautiful, moist, green valley north of Sydney, south of Gosford. Usually somewhere between 600 and 1,000 SCAdians attend this event.

Bordescros generally has a presence at Festival, which is much enjoyed by all who attend. More fighting / A&S / campsite revelry than any other event in Lochac Sinister.

This is the Bordescros Campsite gate and Cairi's Cottage (tent) at Rowany Festival
