Caller's Corner was a column that Geoff Clarke wrote for 4 years for the Eastern Ontario Square & Round Dance Association (EOSARDA) Square Time magazine that is published 4 times a year.

The column was intended to create a dialogue between the callers and dancers of this area & beyond and, for the most part, it full-filled that role. However in the past year, the dialogue dwindled and in the end it was decided that perhaps interest had waned & it was time to put the column to rest.

One of the regular features of the column was "Ask the Caller" whereby anyone can ask questions via email to the Caller (Geoff) and it was answered directly (by email) with their question along with answer being published in Callers Corner.

Over the 4 years there were a lot of good questions raised & answered .To retain that information & make it available to all, following is  a list of the topics covered with direct links to the associated column.
