The Midland folk group is part of the Camping and Caravanning Club. We have
members of all ages who enjoy, singing and dancing, crafts, or simply
camping and caravanning. We meet on a regular basis around various locations
in the Midlands, our meets are mainly weekends and start on a Friday.

Sincerely
Mick Jones

Under the heading CEILIDHS: you have:

"Very popular, if you can play a musical instrument, or you are
learning and want to play along with someone else, or maybe have a
poem, song, etc to share, we would love to hear you."

Though the original meaning was a social gathering, I think nowadays
most people would take it to mean music with called dances.

About ten years ago, we went to Scotland and found a "ceilidh" which
did not involve dancing but instead had a number of locals (and some
from further afield) entertaining each other with (mostly) musical
turns. So maybe the old usage still exists in some places.

Certainly does in Scotland, and in fact I am informed often in Ireland
too. Blasted English always ruined everyone else's good ideas...
