Dancing has finished, presentations soon!

Remember, ChaosCentral will NOT be at the feis tomorrow, so please make your own arrangements for photos and results. If possible, we will post tomorrow's results very late Sunday night, if the owl gets them to us :)

On the home strait!!!

Only the soft shoe dances to go in the 13 & 14 Years, then presentations!

There is a slight delay

Just reorganising some paperwork for missing sections, and we are now underway again

13 & 14 Years Premiership now dancing

13 & 14 Years have been dancing for some time...

ChaosCentral has been distracted and not attending to LiveCommentary, as LiveCam is more compelling.....or not :)

We are approaching the end of the Graded sections and a long day is beginning to take its toll on everyone...the food and drink outlets are shut and one must brave the wilds of the general public area in order to find sustenance.

The feis is about one hour late, but everyone is good-natured about it.

Sorry for the loud typing on LiveCam - when I hit the keys, I want them to *stay* hit :)

Feis update

11 & 12 Years have finished and we are awaiting the results - by my estimation, this puts us about 1 hour late....still within IDST tolerances :)

The last section of the day, and of this weekend for ChaosCentral, is the 13 & 14 Years.

11 & 12 Years Premiership soft shoe rounds now on stage

Hopefully, presentations will follow

9 Years are doing their soft shoe round

Presentations will follow....

10 Years Premiership first round completed

Now changing shoes for the second round, the 9 Years Premiership is about to start.

A short break....

Between the Graded and Premiership - everyone get up and have a stretch now....

The last few graded sections are in marshalling

Another four sections to dance, and then the 10 & 11 Years Premiership gets underway.

Afternoon dancing

We are about to start the afternoon sections with the 9 & 10 Years Graded, then Premiership.

Everyone is rested and relaxed from a good lunch, the competition was running on time and still is.....

Feis update

It is the lunch break - some time tomorrow whilst ChaosCentral is on a plan, all the section results for today only will be entered and placed on line - too hard to do it at the moment :)

Gourmet food update

The Irish Dancing health food shoppe has opened, with chips, wedges, pies, sausage rolls and fried fish. Not a chocolate crackle in sight :)

However, a recent dispatch from the Fishers Ghost Feis organisers intimated that a special chocolate crackle project was underway, the results of which may be available at the Fishers Ghost Feis later this year.

It is unknown whether the organisers of the World Championships in Dublin are aware of the importance of the chocolate crackle to Irish Dancing in Australia.

Presentations for 7 & 8 years about to start.....

Feis update

The last of the graded dancers have been called to marshalling in the 7 & 8 Years age groups. Following these last dancers, the Premierships will be danced, then prizes.

This is the first NSW feis for the year; it is wonderful to see the familiar faces back for another competition year, and also to see new faces of younger dancers competing for the first time. And, in at least one case, to see an old face in a new context - Kristen Piper and her school Scoil Rince Ni Piobaire. New dance schools starting can only strengthen the popularity of Irish Dancing and help it continue as older dancers leave over time.

Feis update

• In the 7 Years Premiership, 12 dancers are competing for the Claddagh International Trophy
• In the 8 Years Premiership, 11 dancers are competing for the Irish Shop Perpetual Trophy
