SC - Removes and Feastocrat

[Catherine Deville]

Siegfried Heydrich <baronsig at peganet.com> said a great deal about the
impact of seperating the feast fee from the event fee and how it affects
the other meals served including the following comments:
>     I've had mixed experiences with 'on board' meals other than feast.
I've
> found that the overwhelming majority of people who expect (quite vocally,
in

(Generally,
> what people wanted for breakfast was *COFFEE*, and don't let the urn run

>     I've done events where I put out both meals, and wound up tossing

Which brings up a point of curiosity.

Question to the experienced feastcrats out there...
    Since the feast fee is now seperate, what is your experience with
budgetting the meals which are advertised in the flyer as "included"
(breakfasts, lunches, dayboards?)   Do they come out of the feast fee and
do you therefore expect them to be available only to those who paid the
"onboard" rate or are you expected by local or kingdom custom to feed
everyone, and if so does your group make a seperate budget out of the event
rate for those meals?  How does your group manage this type of concern?
