NK - ?feast steward?

[Rebecca M. Heydon]

Well, what I have tried to put together is a list of people who have done
feasts for events before as well as those who are interested in doing
feasts.  Bids for feasts are taken months before our events happen and a
feast steward chosen to do the feast at the event in question.  If no one
comes forward of their own accord to offer a feast bid, I can then look at
my trusty list and then tap a person or two. :-)  (This list is a Rowan
thing, not something done everywhere).

SO a bid.  This involves coming up with a menu for about 100-125
individuals, coming up with a price list, listing any special things you'd
like to do with an event feast and presenting all this to Their
Excellencies, the Seneschal and those who will be Autocrats.

Duties, aside from the obvious you listed, involve little else.  Your
complete and total priority is to gather the goods, prepare the meal, enjoy
the praise showered upon you for a wonderful feast, and rest while those
great volunteers help with clean up.  

Enthusiasm and thick-soled shoes go far in this venture....
