Saturday 3 August 2013

Welcome to the 2013 Claddagh Feis

The sun is shining, the birds are chirping and it will be a wonderful winter's day in Sydney.  We are, once again, at the Glenquarie Community Centre at Macquarie Fields, colocated with the local hgh school and adjacent to Macdonalds....but we are here for the dancing!

In a break from tradition, there is no cappuccino cart here this weekend, although the fabulous canteen will be doing hot and cold drinks all day.  The hall is heated but quite cool, so rug up well if you intend to stay inside for the competition.

The is a small crowd gathering for the morning sections and we also have the presence of the Patron of AIDA Australia, Mrs Janice Currie-Henderson.

The adjudicators for today are:

  • Mark Adams ADCRG (VIC); and
  • Brian Geraghty ADCRG (Ireland).
Music is by iDevice.

And we also have an L-plate adjudicator who will be putting in the long hours...Conor Ayres!
