Guild Chapters and Reporting

Local chapters of the Guild may be established in any area within the Kingdom of Lochac, however all chapter members must be registered members of the Guild.

Chapters are required to dispatch a status report to the Administrator once a year (prior to 1st December), confirming members' details and achievements and detailing topics covered in meetings. This information will be incorporated into the yearly 12th Night report dispatched to Crown, its Heirs, the Lochac Arts and Sciences Minister and the Lochac Seneschal.

Each chapter shall abide by the Charter of the Guild, the laws of Lochac and the ideals of the Society for Creative Anachronism.

Membership in the Lochac Cooks' Guild

Membership in the Guild is open to those with an interest in cooking or researching Medieval and Renaissance period recipes. A member is recognised on presentation of the first dish or upon submission of a General Membership form.


Only registered members of the Guild may wear the insignia or claim membership.

There is no age limit on Guild membership. However, written permission acknowledging the potential physical risks inherent in all kitchen work must be given by a Parent or Guardian prior to a minor (a person under the age of 18) being admitted into the Guild. Members under the age of 18 years old must only cook or undertake work in kitchens for official SCA events, guild workshops and classes while under the supervision of an adult (18 years +) Guild member.
