Weekend in Sherwood conventions

Spirit of Sherwood regularly organises an all-RoS convention called Weekend in Sherwood in Michigan (USA), with actors and other people from the Robin of Sherwood crew.

Major Oak Awards

Spirit of Sherwood yearly grants the Major Oak Awards, honoring Excellence in Robin of Sherwood Zine (stories, poems, filks and artwork) Achievement. Club members get a vote in the ballot. The Awards are presented to the winners during a hilarious ceremony at the annual Weekend in Sherwood convention.

Spirit of Sherwood Photo Catalogue

We have an extensive archive of photos of the RoS cast members.

Spirit of Sherwood Video Library

Spirit of Sherwood has 9 tapes available from the 1997 Weekend in Sherwood V RoS convention. The price of the tapes will be $40 for a full three-tape set at 6-hour speed or $10 per tape at 2-hour speed. They are available in both NTSC and PAL. The PAL version is available with no cost for conversion, but it will take up a different amount of tapes so we will work up a quote if we get any inquiries.
