Year of the Society
"Ummmm....what Society year is
it?" "What A.S. was it when that happened?"
These are just a couple of the more commonly heard questions at SCA
events.
Many times coming from me. In an attempt to help my poor memory keep
things straight
and possibly as an aid to other gentles in matching up the Anno
Societatis
( Latin for "Year of the Society") date with the modern date,
we supply the following information.
Note that the Society year runs from May 1 to April 30.
