[MR] NMS - Re: Unofficial - All Things Marshal

[Siegfried]

Ok, so the only reason it's coming up this time ...

Is because the Kingdom Newsletter DID publish the event announcement, 
even though it wasn't yet an official event in the eyes of the Kingdom 
(a convience feature that the Kingdom provides)

It ended up not becoming official, to the Kingdom's Eyes, because of a 
lack of paperwork (or something else) ...

However, it is still an event as far as the SCA is concerned.  Since it 
was published.

So, it's a very specific case here.

If you are charging for the feast and not the site, but you can't attend without buying the feast, then you have to pay money to attend, and NMS applies.
