REMEMBER! -------Planning a Ceilidh this year?
It is hoped that 'The Big National Ceilidh' on 18th October 2008 will bring together local organisers from all over the country to get as many people as possible dancing the same dance to the same music at 10.00 p.m. on this day.
The dance is 'Circassian Circle' and the music is 'Jimmie Allen' ('Jamie Allen')
It is hoped that the Ceilidhs will raise funds for WaterAid
We would love to hear of any Ceilidhs being organised locally as part of this, so that we can spread the word.

Please contact www.bignationalceilidh.co.uk for more details
