How far do you travel in Ansteorra?
I would say that combined feast and site fees are uncommon in Ansteorra
myself. I think the area north of the Dallas area is the main place I've
seen this. Of course, most of my events in Ansteorra have been in the
central Texas area. I think I can remember only one event in this area
in ten years that combined the two.
While at one time I thought the idea was good, I've since come to
be against it because of some of the problems you mention.
