This person is responsible for reading the weekly announcements.

When

Around 9--9:30pm just after everyone has squared up for a tip. During class, it should be just before the middle club tip.

What you need

Announcements for this week. There should be a printed announcement sheet at gate for you to read from. If there isn't, ask an officer for access to the online copy of announcements.

Responsibilities

Read the announcements over the caller's microphone when it's the appropriate time.

Notes

You are encouraged to be enthusiastic but efficient.

The longer the announcements take, the less time there is for dancing. Always end by thanking the cuer and caller. 

Doing announcements does not mean you can't dance that tip. Square up with a partner then leave your partner in the square and read announcements.

For more details on what can be included in spoken announcements, see Club Announcements.
