Who are we
?
"The Vikings of Bjornstad" is a living history and educational group, concentrating on the Viking era, usually defined to be from 793 AD to 1066 AD. We offer stimulation, fun and a minimum of personality clashes and drama some volunteer groups struggle with. We are fully recognized by the State of California and the IRS as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation.

What does membership cost?
Annual membership to the group is $40 for one adult, and other options are shown below. Membership dues go almost entirely to providing our members with insurance coverage. As a result of our status as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, our members can deduct mileage and bridge fares from their taxes, but do consult with a tax professional.

What would a potential member need to know before joining?
Nothing! All we ask is that you are interested in the Viking Age and are willing to work toward making, trading or buying the clothing appropriate for the period.

What do you have to do to join?
It's easy. Send an e-mail to info@vikingsofbjornstad.com with some contact information and let us know you're interested. We'll ask you to join. It requires only a face photo (we can use just about anything you send) and the dues for membership (which includes insurance). Check below for membership options.

What clothing and other gear do you need before joining?
None. We strive for authentic Viking Age clothing, crafts and gear, but we know that's a goal to work toward and we all have to start somewhere. We'll help you get started and the gear is FAR less expensive than other historic periods. We have occasional workshops to help each other out with everything from shoes to wooden chests.

Where do we meet?
Our events are usually in the extended San Francisco Bay Area. Currently Bjornstad members live north to Santa Rosa and Fort Bragg, east to Stockton and south to San Jose. Our calendar of events is always online and up-to-date. 

When do we meet? 
We meet about once a month. We decide as a group which events to attend and try not to schedule more than a couple a month. Our members attend those they can. The events are always shown on the calendar of events.

Is there an age limit?
We welcome everyone and ask only that those under 16 be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
