Then this must vary from region to region. Here, I don't think either
the event steward or the headcook has ever been asked to cover overages.
They may or may not ever get a bid accepted in the future though, depending
upon the circumstances.
An event a while back lost a horrendous amount of money, principally
because of the event stewards inability to create a budget and stick
to it. This was apparently not the first time they had done this. It
may be a long time before this husband and wife team does another event
but the barony did cover the expenses.
We also now have a deadline now for submitting reciepts. I think it is
several weeks after an event. It is well announced. After this time, any
unsubmitted reciepts are considered a "donation" to the group. This does
help simply the bookkeeping.
