Dances and DiscosMuch depends on the age group of those you hope will attend your dance or disco. Dances for older people tend to generate less trouble. The risk of under age drinking is also reduced. If you intend to hold a dance with live music, the cost of hiring the musicians must be considered. Popular bands are in high demand and set their prices accordingly. Sometimes it is possible to find an up and coming band who is looking for the experience of performing live. It is possible to agree to give them a percentage of the takings. Other things that may eat into your profits are the need for security and staff to run the event. If you can persuade members o the groups committee to do those tasks it makes quite a difference to the takings.

Quizzes

Quizzes are always popular. The most important feature of a quiz is the quality of the question master. A good one with plenty of experience will encourage people to keep coming back. However, it is not reasonable to charge a large admission fee. Profitability depends the numbers that can be enticed through the door. Another issue is that of prizes. Money prizes are generally preferred but that reduces the profit.
