(Belated) Welcome to the 2024 Maureen Whelan Memorial Feis
ChaosCentral has been quite remiss in a timely welcome and reporting of this amazing feis.
However, we plead extenuating circumstances as on the first day of the Feis we had the opportunity to meet our new grand daughter for the first time! Congratulations to Julia Baar and Reece Hagan :)
We are at the William Clarke College at Castle Hill, enjoying a warm hall while it is variously cold and/or wet outside; parking is available for those here early!
Our adjudicators are:
- Elizabeth Howe, SA
- Stephen Carolan, QLD
- Donna Reilly-Cannon,
- NSW Conor Ayres, VIC
And we have a real, live musician :) Brendan Dougan-Kittel, SA
And we also have the fabulous and world-famous gourmet canteen, highly recommended.

Welcome to the 2024 Easter Feis
A late start today for LiveCommentary because… ChaosCentral forgot to get things organised :(
Today we are at the Penrith Gaels for the competition and although the Sydney coast is enjoying wet weather with animals pairing up, out at the base of the mountains the weather is “soft”, a perfect Irish summer’s day with just light drizzle :)
Dancing has commenced and our adjudicator is Elizabeth Lewis ADCRG (NSW).
Miss Jan, who ran this competition for… decades… is unwell and unable to I attend, but sends her best wishes to all competitors, parents and family members.

Dancing update... sort of...
Due to the potential for an increase in participation, a new 3-hand section is under consideration for local participants. The first team was spotted practicing just outside the hall...
When approached for comment, two of the team scurried off, but the apparent leader remained reticent about their routine and if it would be ready for the NSW State Championships.
Welcome to Sunday!
A bright, sunny and very warm day greets us today; Berowra is as beautiful as ever and the venue car park has plenty of space left. The hall is filling with excited people and we are ready for an on-time start. Yesterday, we ran exactly to schedule and left the hall right on time, let's hope that today is the same.
As a Gourmet Food update, the chocolate crackles have arrived, courtesy of Emily Harmon slaving over a bowl until the wee hours of the morning!
We are ready to go for a warm day's dancing!
