Ohhh, that must be so nice!  I get so tired of feeling like I'm
sitting in someone's lap, and knowing that no one can walk behind me
because the next row of tables is so close!

How many people are you usually seating for feasts?

>>>>>>
When I was Steward for our Candlemas event we had 325 eat feast and
360 or so at the event. But that was six years ago and since then the
number of events in this kingdom (Ansteorra) has increased and the
event size has generally been dropping.  I think the recent Candlemases
have been around 150 or 200. Clarissa, since you cooked the last 
Candlemas feast, do you have more accurate numbers?

A number of the recent events have been cooking feasts for numbers
quite a lot smaller than the total number of attendees and they have
started to ask for feast reservations. Not paid, but reservations
none the less.
