Maedb, this is a good suggestion and I'm glad it works for you. I hope it
works for others as well.
Unfortunately for our area, we have tried this in the past to little or no
avail. Despite the fact that our Barony contains a College (read: lots of
poor students), last year at my feast I couldn't even hire a dishwasher for
*cash.* (Free feast ticket + $25 = $37.00; or $9.25/hr. for 4 hours'
honest work. No one even nibbled.)
On a brighter note, we *did* solve the no-one-wants-to-serve-either problem
this year, though: Our Baron offered his high-school drama class extra
credit to show up in costume and "character" and serve the feast. For the
first time in **years,** we had more than a handful of servers... :-)
