I am not sure where you went with that? Or do you mean that the Baron in
question is trying to justify to the autocrat that he should use a Volunteer
Cook (SCA) versus hiring a caterer? And what does it have to do with finding
another site? Do you mean that the site your using requires you to use
"their" caterer?  Down here we don't have the luxery of a second site choice
either actually, we're sorta locked into La No Che (Boy Scout Camp) for both
political and financial reasons. And being a camp,a  caterer is about out of
the question unless Kingdom hired Harper's Raid to do it:) (That's a
shameless plug for the Tavern:) ) But seriously I don't think a caterer
would come out to camp to do feast for hundred or hundred and fifty people
at any cost that would be within reason.
