SC - Feast Fees in Ansteorra

[Michael F. Gunter]

Please do come on down and visit us.  We've got several really great events 
coming up and a couple of them are:

   Crown Tournament (April)
      (being held in Loch Sollier to the south of Stargate)

   Assembly of the Contrade (April)
      (being held just to the west of Stargate)
      This event should be really fun -- lots of role playing
      (15th century Venice, with the Doge presenting. The contrades
       will compete to impress the Doge and win the contested land.
       Part of the competition will require solving a murder
       mystery.  There will also be a feast competition for all
       you cooks out there -- "hire out" to a contrade or join
       one, then prepare a feast for your group that will amaze
       and impress the Doge.)

Lady Suzanne de la Ferte' scripsit:

 >>> In my three years in the SCA (not long, I know) I've only

Entirely possible; I am in Steppes.  When I contacted the Autocrat about a 
site-only fee for 12th Night, since none was listed in the ads and I figured 
I would not be there for the feast due to other obligations, I was told that 
there is NO SUCH THING IN Ansteorra.  Not just the Barony but the whole 
Kingdom.  I replied that this seems odd and got a somewhat snooty "well, you 
haven't been in this Kingdom long, have you, that's the way it's done HERE" 
reply.

It seemed very odd, but since the other events have with one exception all 
been camping, I figured that it was the policy for in-hall events to have an 
all-inclusive fee.  Maybe it's just Steppes that does it this way.  Guess 
I'll have to travel to other regions in the Kingdom (now that I have a job 
that lets me stay in town mostly, at least after early May) and see how it's 
done elsewhere.
