How do clubs in your area handle banner stealing with a Mainstream ONLY 
club who dances in an area where Plus is the norm?   By that I mean when 
the MS club comes to retrieve their banner, do you dance Mainstream ONLY 
for that night, even though it is a Plus club?

Mike,

That's one of the reasons why, in the Northern NJ area, we don't 
steal banners during a raid. The clubs put a pin on the banner of the 
club being raided to indicate that the raid took place. This way, the 
club that is raided doesn't have an obligation to return the raid. 
Also, the Mainstream club may have enough members that also dance 
Plus, so those members could return the raid.

For the clubs that belong to the  NNJSDA (Northern NJ Square Dancers 
Association), we have a "Raid Program" which is based on the mileage 
between clubs. We have a grid that  shows how many points a club gets 
for raiding another club (the points are based on the mileage). Once 
the total number of points gets to 200 or more, the club gets a 50 
cent/member reduction in their NNJSDA dues. See document at 
http://nnjsda.org/nnjsda_documents/?dl=46 for the grid. The NNJSDA 
has 5 Mainstream Clubs, 6 Alternating Mainstream/Plus clubs, 3 Plus 
clubs, 3 clubs that dance A2 & C1/C2, and one club that hold 
Mainstream dances on one night and Plus dance on a different night.

What's the harm in dancing Mainstream for one dance? All Plus dancers 
have to be able to dance Mainstream to dance Plus. You could always 
make it an interesting Mainstream!

Wish we had that problem.  As the only club in Saudi Arabia, we would enjoy a 
raid and the socialization associated thereto.  And maybe a neighboring club 
would kidnap some of our more grumpier members!  :)

In our experience as a basic/mainstream club whose caller occasionally
throws in a plus tip for the benefit of visitors or more advanced club
members, when plus dancers come to steal our banner, he calls plus for them
as they steal the banner with possibly another plus in the evening.  He
makes the mainstream fun for them.  Our mainstream dancers learn a lot from
observing others.
When they return to retrieve their banner, the plus club usually provides a
mixed evening of plus and mainstream so the banner retrieval group can enjoy
dancing but still get a chance to take a break and learn from watching
others.
In any case we find more advanced dancers can often benefit from a bit of
review of mainstream moves.
