Welcome to the Yahoo! group for the Shire of Cambridge!

We are a chapter of the Adrian Empire encompassing areas of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut.  The Adrian Empire is a not-for-profit educational organization dedicated to the study and recreation of Western European culture between the years 1066, the Battle of Hastings, and 1603, the end of Queen Elizabeth I's reign.  Our members work to recreate skills used throughout this period, such as, but not limited to, the martial or creative arts.  It is in doing this that we can better understand how they lived, worked, and played.  For more information about the Adrian Empire, and all that we do, please check out our national website: Adrian Empire, Inc.

• Our main monthly events are most often held on the third weekend of each month.
• Regional cantons, such as those in Long Island, NY or Southern New Jersey, may hold additional events on other weekends.
• More casual meetings, such as combat, arts, or archery practices, may be held informally throughout the year.
