All policies listed are put forth and approved by the Kingdom of the Middle and the Board of Directors of the Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc. Policies are non-negotiable and mandatory. No exemptions will be provided unless otherwise stipulated in a policy.
For more information, current policies, etc., please refer to https://midrealm.org/blog/2021/10/18/mk-tiers-for-mitigation/ and the Midrealm Facebook page.
Requirement to post disease disclaimer in advance on website and at site entrance.
COVIDsafe EXPIRED– This is a corporate policy that requires attendees to events to show proof of vaccination. This policy will NOT be reimplemented as it offers no projection given the high rate of breakthrough infections
Indoor masking requirements – the requirement to wear a mask indoors at an event unless eating or drinking. Masking of individuals continues to be the most effective NPI against COVID.
Expectation that if you are symptomatic or have tested positive for COVID-19 that you will not attend events for 10 days.
Expectation that if you become symptomatic or test positive within 2 days of attending an event that you inform the kingdom seneschal so that an official announcement may be made.
It is important to recognize that as risks change so should the recommendations. Thus, we are implementing a Tier policy such that as infections decrease we implement or re-implement various restrictions. Community risk levels will be taken from: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/science/community-levels.html.
Notification of movement of the Kingdom from Tier to Tier will be made by the Seneschal and published through Social media, the website, The Pale or other methods as applicable.
Tier 2 – Counties showing high and medium levels of community transmission
Tier 1 – Medium or low levels in all of the counties covered by the Midrealm

Regarding Kingdom Policies on Feasts, Etc. from the Kingdom Seneschal
You must be pre-registered or you cannot attend a weekend event. Pre-registration should include, at a minimum, information required for contact tracing purposes.
ALL events (weekend events, meetings, fighter practice, guild meetings, etc.) MUST complete a contact tracing form with VIABLE contact information for all attendees, including children, for each event.
Post the Board required language…everywhere. If in doubt, post it.
NO FEAST/COMMUNAL FOOD is permitted.
Gallon jug of water/Gatorade where everyone helps themselves are not approved in the Midrealm at this time as it creates a safety concern of too many touch points. So bring your own hydration.
