There's an idea. Or we may not have a job title for the person at all...
it doesn't have to go in the event announcement.

At our last meeting, we had a short verbal tussle when one of our heralds
requested that the term 'Head Cook' be used instead of 'Feastocrat' on a
bid, and someone else thought that meant someone who reported to the
Feastocrat. When I get time, I'm going to poll our kingdom list for the
most-popular period equivalent to 'Feastocrat' so we can say to the guy
who is in charge of the feast that yes, everyone will know that this term
means the same as feastocrat...
