The Shire of Border Vale Keep is a chapter of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA).  Our Shire is located in the Kingdom of Atlantia, encompassing the area of Augusta, Georgia.  The SCA is an international, non-profit, educational organization that is dedicated to the study and re-creation of the European Middle Ages and Renaissance (roughly between 600 and 1600 AD).

The Shire conducts business meetings on the second Monday of the month at 7:00 PM (19:00 for you military types) at the Garrett Community Center.  Newcomers are always welcome to join us.  The Center is located at 1110 Eisenhower Drive (next to the Garrett Elementary School) in Augusta, Ga.  The Community Center phone number is 706-821-1776.  For further information about meetings, contact the Seneschal.
