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.
