Feasts

As the Event Steward, the best job you can do to set up a successful feast is to team up with a competent, trusted, and organized Feast Steward. A good Feast Steward is as important as a good Event Steward. All the planning in the world won't make an event successful if the feast bombs, and a great feast won't make up for a poorly planned event.

Good communication with your Feast Steward is key. This should begin in the bid stage. Include your Feast Steward in the selection of the site, as they will be able to give you information on what will be needed for the type of feast you would like, feedback on what can be accomplished with the kitchen facilities available at the sites, and suggestions on what will work for site layout as it pertains to serving, etc.

A good Feast Steward will cover all aspects of running the feast, but there are a few things that an Event Steward needs to know:

Non Profit Status Letter

Some grocery / regular stores will exempt purchases from taxes to non-profit organizations. This can include purchases made for feast supplies. Please see the Non-Profit Status page for additional information.

Feasts for Kingdom-level Events

Refer to the Pre-Paid Feast Policy for Atenveldt Kingdom Event Bids for information on holding a feast at a Kingdom-level event. This document includes information on the policy, standard text to be used in the event article, the guidelines to follow when including a feast in a Kingdom bid, and the information that must be included in a Kingdom bid as it pertains to the feast.

Please note that for Kingdom level feasts, the Feast Steward will receive $1 less per person than the published feast fee. For example: if the published feast fee for adults is $7 per person, the Feast Steward will receive $6 per person for the feast budget.

Feasts for Local Level Events

Check with your local Exchequer for the local policy.
