We are in the Farrell Centre at the Friends School in Hobart, a fantastic purpose-built hall with excellent seating and a large stage, and everything is being setup, even as we type.
Hobart has turned on some spectacular weather, which in Ireland would be called "a bit soft"; very atmospheric really :)
ChaosCentral, in a rare triumph or planning, departed Sydney on Friday morning, well in advance of the storms that hit later during the afternoon causing the cancellation of all flights and, subsequently, the loss of several Sydney dancers to the competition. However, we are informed that this is the largest Festival held yet, perhaps the Sydney dancers may yet get here...?
Our adjudicators for the weekend are:
- Mrs Jan Currie-Henderson, S.D.C.R.G. (NSW); and
- Mrs Allison Teese, A.D.C.R.G. (Vic)
