 This is the index page for **English / Playford** dance instructions.
+====== NOTICES ======
+===== Call 4 Callers =====
+Are you willing to call dances? Even occasionally. Our club is currently woefully weak on available callers. It would be good if one of us was sick or otherwise unavailable, two or three of the dancers
+could manage to call some dances. Hopefully we'll build up our club capabilities.
+As a start, let's try a session where those willing name a dance or two they are willing to call (this
+wiki has lots to choose from) and they give it a try on Sunday June 21 at Nash condo from 2 to 5. Please email nashjc _at_ ncf.ca for address. Because it is in a private residence, we have to issue you an invitation. You can also ask about recordings, videos, etc. or other tips.
+Note that the wiki has some material about calling in
+https://www.ottawaenglishdance.org/playford/doku.php?id=teaching
+===== Annual General Meeting =====
+Planned for July 5, 2026, at 19:30 via video conference (likely Zoom). Watch for link sent from our club
+email (ottawaenglishdance _at_ gmail.com).
+===== Online auction of dance materials =====
+Members of Ottawa English Dance have given the club books and CDs of English dance materials.
+You can place a bid by following instructions at
+https://www.ottawaenglishdance.org/playford/doku.php?id=auc26:auction26
+====== Contributing to the wiki ======
 Please add a link here as appropriate when you have posted a set of instructions. Note that pages in **RED** still need to be supplied. ??P?? is a query to decide if the instructions should move to a private area.
