- Gate: adult non-members, adult members, children, 1 royal = 62 people =
- Feast: 36 people, income ~ $360 in, expenses $560.
- Inn: income = $546.10 (includes feast left-over donations), expenses =
- Final receipts: -$42.72 (assuming we get our deposit back)
- Silent auction = $416
- we had 11 archers and two fighters, 2 teachers, 3 A&S entries.
- Suggestions for the future: plan for 45-48 for feast instead of 60, getting away from the separate removes, will also back off amount of food for inns, worked well to get on-site on Thurs for a small crew to have plenty of time to set up, great to have the rolling carts to get food to the feast hall.
