SCA History
In 1987, Rufus of Stamford started doing archery at the University of Waterloo and Martin, as his twin, was dragged along. Rufus then started holding choir rehearsals at his house, and Martin was asked to help out. It was 1994 before Martin finally gave in and started attending SCA meetings.
Interests
Follow the music or follow the children – Martin will be there. He'll also often be found at the archery range.

Other Activities
Martin is a mundanely a Mennonite and therefore does not take part in armoured combat or fencing, but there is little else in the SCA that he hasn't tried. Martin was the last Pentathlon winner of the Principality of Ealdormere, and the third(?) Pentathlon champion of the Kingdom of Ealdormere.
