About
A former Duchy of the Kingdom of Neverwinter, now a shire.
Silverwater was one of the founding groups of Neverwinter, and one of the key players in the formation of the Kingdom. People from Silverwater went on to found several other groups in Florida and elsewhere.
After being inactive for a few years, Silverwater has reformed and is petitioning to rejoin Neverwinter.
Contacts
Silverwater will continue to meet at John Prince Park, in Lake Worth. Meeting time is, I believe, at 1:00-1:30 pm, or thereabout. They meet at the old banyan tree by the 6th Avenue entrance. The address is:
2700 6th Avenue South Lake Worth, Florida
History
The earliest known amtgard group in Florida, founded originally in 1992 by Roger Shrubstaff, Flotsam and Tigger deCat. Instrumental in the formation of the Kingdom of Neverwinter.
Went defunct in 1993, restarted in 1994, and was active again until October, 2004 when its park was closed due to hurricane damage. Contract received by the BL on May 6th 1995. Valiant started dragging people out again in 2006 and in 2007 the group became active again, and is meeting regularly at its old location.
Glory Days
Meeting in John Prince Park in Lake Worth, Silverwater reached a peak attendence of over 80 different people per week in the summer of 1997 when it was made a Duchy, and appeared by many to be a candidate for kingdom status on its own. At the time Falling Fire in the area was also pushing for such status, and in a key sequence of events, they set aside a rivalry to push together towards a common Floating Crown kingdom in Florida.
Recent History
