And the 15 Years & Over have taken to the stage

The little jiggers have left the building and the big end of town are now making themselves comfortable on the stage.

The gourmet food has been excellent and ChaosCentral had been well fed and watered!

The competition is running smoothly, on-time or early and the hall is now almost warm...the heaters have been switched off, so that must be a good sign :)

Around the feis...















Welcome to the first ever Feladh Cheoil

A chilly morning greets us at Ambarvale High School, the location of the first Fleadh Cheoil and the first new Irish Dancing competition in Sydney for some years.

We are in the school hall which is spacious and with an excellent sound system; it is, however, slightly cool inside despite the wall heater, so dress for the season :)  There is a great range of vendors and gourmet food provided by a hard-working group of parents.  Parking is plentiful and, if retail therapy is needed to counter the dancing, there is a shopping centre over the road from the school.

Our adjudicator is Elizabeth Lewis SDCRG, with music by iDevice.

At the moment, dancers are on stage getting some practice and as the day progresses, we will have some photographic highlights and results.

Seniors are now dancing

ChaosCentral has been rather quiet on LiveCommentary...because looking at the viewing statistics, people really aren't looking at the site any more...apart from the results pages.

So whilst I ponder whether it is worthwhile continuing this site, or moving everything across to Facebook, here are some photos from around the championships.
