Historically, the group I'm in has offered off-board seating at the feast for our January
event (at other events with feasts we generally fill the hall to capacity). I
co-autocratted the event this year and found that it worked somewhat. However, it did
cause a bit of a headache in terms of setting up the tables for the feast and directing
the servers. (One off-board table was of kids, who _almost_ succeeded in diverting a tray
of the first course to themselves by pitiful looks... until their mommies noticed!)
