Welcome to the Home page for the Province of Golden Rivers! The Province encompasses a large portion of the Sacramento, CA area and has been a thriving group in the Kingdom of the West since the beginnings of the S.C.A.!
There are a lot of things going on in our Province! We have weekly fighter practice/ gather in Carmichael Park (5750 Grant Ave, Carmichael CA 95608), on Wednesdays starting around 6:30 and going until late. At these gatherings, you can watch our fighters practice and learn more about the art, see dancers having fun and perhaps join in, get information from our chatelaine (our “welcome wagon”), socialize with folks and get to know them, and much more. Our monthly Province business meetings are the 3rd Wednesday of each month in the same park, weather permitting. There is also a monthly Equestrian practice details can be found under classes.
In this site, you’ll find information on local events, as well as events throughout the Kingdom of the West . You can find out who the local officers are and what their jobs are. You can find links to help you get started on garb, finding a name/device, cooking a period dish, and more. Keep posted for updates!
Greetings Golden Rivers,
It is a tremendous honor for us to represent Golden Rivers as your Lord and Lady. We hope to be of steadfast service to the Province in the following year. Tourney season is in full swing and we look forward to seeing you out and about the Kingdom events. There is much to do, much fun to be had and Golden Rivers is often at the center of the action.
Yours In Service,
Lord Sir Gunther and Lady Juliana

Greetings, Good Gentles!
For the past several years, it has been my honor and pleasure to hold the position of Chronicler of Golden Rivers, providing for your reading pleasure our monthly newsletter: The Golden Rivers Current. I have made it a point to provide a mix of up to date information and expanded content, so that those who read The Current, will be aware of what is happening in Golden Rivers, Cynagua, and the West Kingdom.
Sadly, I will not be able to continue in this office, as I will be moving away from the West Kingdom at the end of the summer. The August issue of the Golden Rivers Current will be the last issue that I will have a hand in.
It is my hope that there is someone out in Golden Rivers who would like to take over the position of Chronicler, and continue publishing The Current. In order to do so, you will be asked to spend roughly six (6) hours per month putting together the content of each issue, printing them off, and then handing them out during Wednesday Gather at Carmichael Park. The person taking on this task will be provided with a template for the newsletter, along with related information and materials. You will also receive a laser printer to print off the newsletter. Costs for paper, and toner and related physical materials will be covered by the province of Golden Rivers.
If you are interested in taking on this position, please contact me at the following e-mail address: goldenriverscurrent@yahoo.com or by telephone at: 916-889-6561. We can work together on the next few issues, and then you "fly solo". I look forward to hearing from interested people soon.
Please feel free to cross-post this on any list that you wish.
Yours In Service: Vincenzo Saracini
