How a good one runs
What a good silent disco plan looks like
There is a clear start, a host who welcomes first timers, and no pressure to perform unless you want to. It starts at a set time, so the group arrives together instead of trickling in. Introductions come first, so nobody is left at the edge of the group. It needs real numbers, 8 or more, so hosts set a minimum. If the plan does not reach it, nobody is charged.
Tip for your first one: come to listen the first time if you like. Nobody has to play or sing.

Silent disco questions
Do I need to be good at silent disco?
No. There are no levels for silent disco. People come for the company as much as the thing itself.
What does it cost to join?
Your share of the plan’s costs, like a court or a table, split evenly and paid up front. On a free plan, the RSVP the host set. It is charged when the plan happens and is not refunded for cancelling or not coming, so everyone who says yes actually goes. If the plan does not happen, you are not charged.
What if the host cancels?
Nobody is charged, and you get a message straight away. The same happens if the plan does not reach its minimum number of people.
