Yes or No ? - will a Brummie Contra take place in

In really bad conditions, it's imprudent to try to meet & dance. (Scroll down for "What it's to avoid".)

A timely YES or NO is much preferable to uncertainty,
since some regulars travel a considerable distance.
Any announcing decision will be CLEAR - ( not on this page, but ) -
at the TOP OF THE HOMEPAGE !
where it is seen as soon as you reach the website.

Likely nothing will show before 8pm on evening prior to a dance.
Band & caller must first be contacted after that evening's forecast is checked.
Please look & check around 8pm, if weather is in any doubt.
Know a dancer with no computer or smartphone? Helpfully arrange NOW. Say you will ring to tell if any cancellation.
Should homepage announce "maybe" at 8pm, a very late night forecast will be checked.
Such a "maybe" homepage announcement may change overnight.
With still the prospect of an adequate dance attendance, band & caller will be contacted again in the morning.
_
Expect any CANCELLATION to be there at VERY latest by about 10am
on the morning of an afternoon dance.
PLEASE CHECK then, if in any doubt.
Not cancelled by 10:15 - the dance WILL take place.

The Brummie Contras will hopefully thus NOT be cancelled unnecessarily.

What it's to AVOID !
The organising headache is HOW to best AVOID either :
1) Band & caller travel many miles through falling snow or fog - Hall is almost empty of dancers - most remain snug at home !
With few there, that's inadequate moneys to pay for the hall, or band, or caller !
Too few for a real dance. All involved are deeply disappointed.
_
OR - equally to AVOID :
2) Band & caller cancelled; but done ineptly late.
Some dancers get told, others just find out.
Many decide not to come anyhow.
BUT a few are loyal and struggle to turn-up
- looking forward to lively dance and warm sociability.
They find the Hall locked and empty !
_
Repercussions. Inevitably follow either above scenario:
- Less keen dancers in future.
- Bands or callers are not prepared to risk coming again.
- Less future dances.
_
Few organisers can afford to pay substantially from their own reserves or credit, to keep giving ongoing support for dances !
