My home group, The Crown Province of Ostgardr, East Kingdom, has a
policy about event stewarding no more than once per year, in order to
limit and prevent burnout. I don't think there's anything on the books
about doing kitchener duty more than once a year, but it seems to work
out that way in practice. We have a fair number of cooks; it's a big
group. Now, _working_ in an event kitchen is another matter; there are
certainly no restrictions on that.
