Joining Fjellborg Vikings
Fjellborg Vikings is a member
of the US-Canadian group, Viking's
Vinland, which is under the auspices of The Vikings-UK, the largest and
oldest Viking age reenactor group in the world. As members of these
organizations we require all of our members to pay an annual membership
fee of $35, which is used to pay for event insurance and administrative
costs. We do permit a grace period of three months or three
meetings/events before potential members are required to pay the annual
membership. Membership with Fjellborg will get you a deep immersion in
Viking culture and way of life, as we are very supportive of each other
in research, kit development and fight training. To dive right in, please join Meetup
page and we will e-mail you with even more information!
We follow three basic rules:
1. Learn about the history of the Classic Viking Age, (basically 793AD
~ 1166AD)
2. Work towards authenticity in your personal kit. (It's a process!)
3. Have FUN! (If it quits being fun, then why do it?!!!)
To try out the Fjellborg Vikings - come to our meetings/events!
Craft Workshops (3rd Sunday of the
month): Craft Workshops are
a great way to build your kits (your Viking costume for events),
shields and scabbards and learn about crafts and skills used by the
Viking age people. Information on what is authentic for reenactment of
Viking age and where it can be purchased or how it can be made will be
provided during these workshops. Craft Workshops are organized by
Lodin/Loren(lodinmyklebust at comcast.net) and Una/Anya(alyuksyu at
uwyo.edu).
Fighter Practices (1st Sunday of the
month): Fighter Practices train
our warriors in the arts of safe combat with steel weapons of the
Viking Age, such as axes, swords and spears. While we have some loaner
equipment available, the individual members are responsible for
purchasing their own weapons after the first year. The practices are
organized by our combat leaders Agnar, Brice and Thorulf. More
detailed information on when and where the workshops/fighter practices
are held is available on our Meetup
page and the Fjellborg
calendar.
Public Events, Demonstrations and
Living History Camps: This is what
it's all about! Here is were we have the most fun. All upcoming public
events are listed on the front page of the Fjellborg website as well as
on our Meetup
page. As a potential member you can participate in civilian
clothing during our events as an interpreter/helper - we'd love to have
you! Once you are a full member and have passed Basic Kit Check you are
welcome to participate in our events as a Viking.
See you at our events or one of our meetings!
