​At Peterborough NH, it's mostly volunteers, occasionally an organizer
fills in. We're lucky that these days typically 2 out of our 3 45-minute
slots are filled by the same people every time.

- nobody?

​At the Nelson NH dance, it's honor system with a fiddle case at the door.

One of the organizers confirms that we have doorsitters for the upcoming
dance
​, usually by email or Facebook Messenger.
​

​45-60 minutes
​

> - any compensation/barter?
>
​Free admission to the Peterborough dance​

​We're trying to keep a tally using an iPad app.
​We give out "second dance free" tickets to anyone who has never contra
danced before, so that when they come back, their next time is free.​
