Thread Name: Ceilidh Callers intructions? Confusions
Subject: Ceilidh Callers intructions? Confusions
It has long puzzled me why so many callers give instructions on numbering or identifying particular couples/genders with

"the ones with their backs to.......... Band/Bar/Windows/on my left (Huh?)/the wall without windows"

when "the ones facing " is not only shorter but the brains they want to be listening and noticing could see what it is they are "related to".

Or am I just too practical? AND before anyone points-out how hard it is to give instructions, think what comes next AND watch-out for all the non-listeners getting confused - I have tried it and that is one reason I don't call. The other is I would rather be dancing.

I am sure there other bette noirs........... discuss
