SC - Price of Feasts (was butter)

[Robyn Probert]

Greeting the list,

I think the price must depend on your outlays. We almost always need to hire
a hall, which will cost between $100 and $500 (or even more) depending on
size. We might need to hire tables and chairs and/or cooking/heating
equipment if the site kitchen is poor (often!). As well as food, we need to
buy candles, cleaning gear, maybe advertising (for a page ad in the official
newsletter), postage to send receipts to those who book ahead... 

The smaller the event, the lower the on-costs, but we can't ever just get by
with food. Small feast cost about $10-$15 and big ones more, but then if you
buy takeaway for lunch it costs $5 and you can't buy dinner under $10-$15
(and that's cheap), and going to the movies is $12, so it's not really that
expensive...

Rowan
