Re: [Organizers] Taking admission (Chrissy Fowler)

Hi Chrissy, 

We have a small dance part of the BACDS.  3rd Sundays 3-6pm. bacds.org/sbc 
 
Organizers sit the door & take money when no volunteers are available. 
We solicit volunteers when they sign in for the dance.  Sign in sheet has  
pre-dance, & Dances #1-8.  We don’t ask for money after the break. 
Usually one person, maybe a friend. 
If there is no volunteer, then we ask the caller to ask someone who is going to 
sit out to sign up. 
Each person sits out one dance. Sometimes someone is injured and sits all the 
dances. 
No compensation.  

Would love to see a compilation of answers or insight gleaned from this query.

Who does it?

- organizers?

- volunteers?

- a mix?

- nobody?

- how many people at a time?

How is it done?
- scheduling people to do the task (how?)

- vetting/soliciting the vols (any parameters?)

- how long does each person sit at door on a given dance eve?

- any compensation/barter?


Other relevant info?

Small town community dance. Used to have nobody collect money just leave a box 
at the door. Never had a problem. We hold the dance in a Grange building, and 
the Grange 
now "sponsors" the dance. We now have various non-dancing Grange members, 
volunteers, and friends sit at the door to provide a friendly greeting. It's 
not a club, so the 
organizers are too few in numbers (two or three!) to do "the greeting thing".

P.S. We have converted some non-dancing volunteers to dancers. :-)
