[Callers] Positional Calling

[Mark Hillegonds via Callers]

Hi, Jeremy,

The Lavender Country and Folk Dancers (LCFD) use some positional references
in their gender-free English Country Dances. Might want to check it out:
http://lcfd.org/gf-ecd-calling-conventions.html

Looking forward to hearing more about this as others respond.
