Feanga (pronounced fey-ahn-gah) is a local Santa Barbara chapter of Amtgard. Feanga is a word derived from the Sindarin roots for spirit (fea) and iron (anga), referring therefore to iron spirit. For the uninitiated, Sindarin is one of the elven languages invented by J.R.R. Tolkein for the world in which The Lord of the Rings is set.
Over it's tenure this chapter had more than it's share of controversy. And was rebuked on e-sam for some of it's changes to Rules and by laws. It was also very forward thinking having created a proto ORK called the "Tome of Records" to keep their credit straight.
Some time in 2003 Feanga toyed withe the idea of joining HFS.
The Shire of Feanga no longer exists. It has merged with the Shire of the Silver Sun, and formed the Shire of the Eternal Coast. Feanga was active between September 2002 and October 2005.
Directions
From Feanga's old Atlas Entry.
We currently meet once a week, on Sundays at Oak Park at 1 PM.
If you are north of the Las Positas exit (which means Goleta, Isla Vista, and the far northern side of Santa Barbara), follow the 101 south to the Las Positas exit, then turn left on Las Positas. Turn right onto Tallant Rd., and keep going till it seemingly dead-ends on Clinton Terrace. Turn left on Clinton, and almost immediately turn right again back onto Tallant. Tallant will soon appear to dead-end again, but it actually continues to the right. Turn right there, and then turn right on Alamar, and Oak Park is on your right. Look for us just north of the kiddie pool on the south side of the park, next to the star on the map.
If you are south of the Las Positas exit (which includes most of Santa Barbara, along with Montecito, Summerland, Carpenteria, and anything in Ventura County), follow the 101 north to the Pueblo exit, turn right on W. Junipero St., and then left on Alamar, and we should be right there. Look for us just north of the kiddie pool, on the south side of the park, where you see the star on the map.
