I know that for my first feast i was basically told to buy all the
food myself, then turn in the receipts to get reimbursed a month
later - and the feast was in December, generally an expensive month,
with holidays, gifts, potlucks, family, etc. I did it but i wasn't
happy. So the next year i asked for an advance. When i was exchequer
for the group i gave the cooks the basic budget, they turned in
receipts afterwards - if they spent more within reason, they were
reimbursed.
Is the group willing to give you any "seed" money that you can repay
after the lunch? If you explain your work situation, will they be
more sympathetic?
