[Cynnabar] Fwd: Re: resending minutes from 4/12

[Siubhan inghean Fhearghuis]

My apologies for speaking as an intruder (who will soon be a member of 
the great Barony of Cynnabar again...if we're allowed back).

I don't remember the last event that I went to, apart from the larger 
camping events, where lunch was not part of the site fee along with 
traveller's fare on Friday night and breakfast on Saturday and Sunday. 
They have all been just help yourselves to the spread which was usually 
prepared ahead and often not much fancy, but then we didn't go to the 
events for the lunch food. I have not been on the back end of any of 
these lunches, so I am not aware of costs or waste. Often the lunches 
were bread, cheese, a bit of meat to put on the bread with cheese, 
perhaps soup and fruit or hard boiled eggs. We used our own feast gear 
for this, so there was no purchase of paper goods.

That being said, the game here in Drachenwald is quite different than 
that in the Midrealm. Our large, kingdom level events like Crown have 
about 120 people at them. Site fees are expensive here, but that is much 
more to do with the costs of sites rather than the addition of food.  I 
can understand that scaling this up to Midrealm sized events may not be 
trivial, but it seems like a bit of basic fare should not up the site 
fee by that much. I could be wrong. I do understand that saving as much 
money as we can in the current economy is important to.

I don't really have an argument either way for this. For some reason I 
felt I needed to insert my two pence. What works here may not work 
elsewhere. I will have to remember to bring food for lunch for events so 
I'm glad this subject came up as I hadn't thought about it :) I would be 
interested in seeing lunch offered as part of the site fee, but do 
understand that it may not be possible.
