Click the Join Now! button over on the left side menu!
What other information do I need to send in when I join?
Please fill out the contact information form on the "Join Now!" page to help us complete our records. All information will be kept completely confidential. You can also use this form to update your contact info if you move or change your email or phone.
How will I know when my membership is in effect?
New members will receive a welcome email to let you know that your membership request has arrived. When your yearly membership is about to expire, you will receive a notice from our treasurer giving you the option to renew your membership.
What kind of costuming is appropriate for this group?
We have members interested in all kinds of costumes!
Some of our historical costuming interests include Victorian, Edwardian, Regency, 18th c., Civil War (or any war) re-enactment, Cowboy (i.e. SASS), 20th c. Retro, Renaissance (i.e. RenFaire), and Medieval (i.e. SCA). Our members also enjoy non-historical costuming such as Steampunk, Anime/Cosplay, Sci-fi, Fantasy (including "LARP"), TV/Movie reproductions, Comicbook, etc.
Basically if you make costumes, want to make costumes, or just enjoy wearing costumes of any kind... come on in!
Do I need to be a paid member of the DFWCG in order to come to classes or events?
No. All classes and events are open to the public, and we love for new people to drop in at any time. However, a guild membership will give you a discounted price on class and event fees. Your support will also help the guild afford to do more elaborate programming in the future.
What types of events do you have?
Our goal is to provide a variety of workshops, lectures, and costumed events throughout the year, so be sure to check out our Events page to see the upcoming activities that we have planned. You can also check our Yahoo Group to learn about other local costuming events that our members are attending informally.
Who do I contact if I have a suggestion for a class or event?
We love to get new ideas or requests for guild activities! Our Vice-President is in charge of all event planning. You can reach her at vicepresident@dfwcg.org
When do you meet?
Most of the DFWCG gatherings are on the 2nd weekend of each month, but occasionally we will need to switch this up to correspond with local events.
Can you tell me more about the Guild business meetings?
Our biannual business meetings are typically held on the 2nd weekend of January and the 2nd weekend of either June or July (depending on our summer event lineup). They are open to all members or potential members, and we work on event planning and a variety of "behind the scenes" business. These meetings are held at one of the conference rooms of the Lewisville Public Library. They don't let us reserve rooms there, so just look for the DFWCG sign on the door to find us.
