Summer 2023 booker report

Keeping track of expenses/income

2024 planning

   Already agreed upon

o       10 month contract with FBC – need confirmation that this is ok with them.

o       Date for change from Evening to Afternoon and Back: Nov 5 – March 31

o       Dates for special dances: Bridgerton on Sept. 23, Masquerade on Oct. 28,  CDR’s Thanksgiving Weekend in November, Turning of the Year Dec. 30,  Jane Austen Ball April 28

o       We will do special dances as a committee, except for the Jane Austen Ball. We will plan for all special dances to be at FBC but will consider Gregory St if that’s up and running.

   To be discussed

o       Booker (Colleen is out for the rest of the year)

o       Expenses: FBC rent, band and caller payments

o       Cash in: Target admission fee and phrasing.  Do members get a discount? Is the target price $9, $12 or a range? Are we still ok with the phrasing at the entry (it costs us $xxx to put on a dance.  Scan the room and throw in some bucks if it looks like we’re coming up short).  Should we offer couple/family discounts? ($12/person, $20/couple, $30/family – does this encourage couples or discourage singles?) Do we want to monkey around with annual passes again, or is that dead?

o       Promotion:

o       Jane Austen Ball 2024
