[Sca-cooks] Feast Procedural Question

[Yamil O Kiwan]

Hi Jared,

This sounds like he is trying to justify an SCA cook over a professional
caterer to an event coordinator. I would recommend you speak with your
baron/committee and ask them why they want this. If you knew the reason you
may not find this request unreasonable.
For those of you who are not familiar with our area(Caid) most of our venues
require we use the event sites cooks or caterer. Since event space is a
premium we don't have the same luxury of finding another site.

Thanks,
Jamal
Lyondemere, Caid
