      Hmmmm . . . y'all are lucky! One of the big problems we have is that
  people are NOT bidding events. The next Crown List (labor day weekend) is
  being hosted by a consortium of households, and all kingdom events after
  that are still open for bids. I get a bit twitchy when I see the mad
  scramble to find someone to do an event 3 months before the date . . .

  Your not kidding when you say twitchy.  My shire is doing a Coranation in July.  We got it in March.  Everyone is going crazy and stressed.  We got most of all the important stuff done, now for getting the bodies to do the brainless work that needs to be done the weekend of Coranation.



      We're trying to work an arrangement that would allow the tavern to
  handle those meals, and free up the entire feast budget for the feast
  itself. When I was still doing kingdom feasts, about 25% of my total budget
  went to non-feast meals. This should take a lot of the pressure off the
  feastcrat, we hope. Not just on the budget, but also having to divert time &
  attention away from the feast itself to do the other meals.
      We're also hoping that having that much more to work with will allow the
  feastcrat to serve a greater number of people, too. The hall we use is
  HUGE - it will seat twice the number normally served very comfortably.

  I think that is nice, neat and smart.
