Hi Ms/ Mr Vixen,
good point about Callers a tricky but essential job. Some time last year Mo The Caller, on Mudcat, advertised a "Have a go Ceilidh" - anybody could play in the band, anybody could dance and anybody could call.
We went a long and were greatly taken by the event - 4 or 5 people called - most only one or two dances but still great fun.
As a result were organised one, details here:
Our Have a Go
It too was great fun - generating 3 or 4 new callers calling just one dance or two.
I guess established callers would need to 'train up' some apprentises?
Give it a go - much fun to be had.
Cheers
