Mission Statement
As a group dedicated to re-enacting a mercenary unit, the Iron Ring encourages study of armed and armored combat by its members, and seeks to participate in activities including but not limited to SCA armored combat, target archery and rapier combat.
Members of the Iron Ring are highly encouraged to foster an attitude of cooperation between each other and also members of the re-enactment community at large. We shall lead by positive example and follow by the positive example of others.
Awards and Accolades
The Iron Ring was honored by Queen Adwen Wrenn at An Tir/West War XLV/2010 with a Forget-Me-Not. She praised the unit for crafting unit mantles instead of unit tabards, so that it could wear the An Tir tabards and still have unit cohesion. We are also exceptionally proud of the number of our members who have worked hard to earn their Award of Arms, Goutte de Sanges and Jambe de Lions.
Rules and Regulations
The Iron Ring is governed by a charter encompassing its rules and regulations, as ratified by the members of the Iron Ring in 2007. In general, all decisions are made by the officers of the Iron Ring (for matters such as use of funds and member disputes) or by a 3/4 majority of the members of the Iron Ring.
Recruiting
Under Construction.
Service to the Community
Iron Ring members are required to devote a portion of their time to performing service at any event they attend. Volunteer efforts are essential to supporting the ongoing success of the SCA, and the Iron Ring intends to provide a good example to the community at large.

Arts and Sciences
Dance
The Iron Ring was blessed to have our very own expert in dance. Her Ladyship Slaine inghean ui Maille not only made us more graceful in our dance but also offered her expertise to anyone who cared to show up each Friday evening at the Three Mountains Dance Practice.
Tailoring
HL José Cabrera de Castilla is our up and coming tailor, specializing in western European mens' fashion from 1540-1600. As of July 2008 the Iron Ring has new outfits, with doublets drafted and sewn by José, shirts and pants supplied by Slaine and an enthusiastic team of seamstresses, and chemises and kirtles for the ladies, custom-drafted by HL Slaine inghean ui Maille and sewn by as many people as could lay hand to fabric.
Woodworking
Kazoku Hashimoto Yoshio created unbelievably detailed, hand crafted, Japanese flutes. He also crafted small pocket flutes, dual-shafted flutes and is rarely seen without his double fluted walking staff.
Music
We are graced musically with several ladies and gentleman who enjoy singing or playing instruments. Our camp often has a song being sung, hummed, or strummed. We also have the pleasure of being a favorite place for the Biffy Bard to set his hat and entertain.
Millinery
HL José Cabrera de Castilla and HL Iuliana de la Sara have begun to refine their skill at hat making through creation of hats for both unit members, and the outfitting of hats, professionally, for two local high school theatrical productions.
Combat and Archery
The Iron Ring promotes activity in martial prowess, in support of its mission to present the look and feel of a historical mercenary unit.
Heavy Fighting
Members of the Iron Ring participate in SCA heavy combat. The Captain of our heavy war unit is Stavis Vladimir Kraskov. His agenda is to get as many Iron Ring members into armor as possible, and to practice regularly and with a variety of opponents. The Iron Ring currently practices at the Dragon's Mist Fight Practice and the Three Mountains Fight Practice, and works with other war groups to schedule and attend war practices as time permits.
Rapier Combat
Combat Archery
Target Archery
A number of members of the Iron Ring enjoy target archery. This activity has no particular rank or station associated with it, and is not being performed more than recreationally by some members who own or have access to bows. We hope to soon set up a more regulated archery and crossbow portion of the unit which will practice together for the purposes of recreation and heavy fighting.
Camping
The Iron Ring makes camp at a number of events every year. Some of the features of the camp are a growing number of period pavilions, historically-inspired seating and camp elements and a 25 foot, blue common area, affectionately called "Big blue".
