 Dear Teacher and Parents,

Welcome to the third annual Féile na Nollag by the Sanders School of Irish Dancing to be held on December 11^th and 12^th 2010

Once again the Feis will be held at the Newmarket on Fergus Community Centre, Co. Clare and every effort will be made to provide excellent facilities for both competitors and spectators. Like last year a large dance space (30ft x 24ft) will be provided for championships which will have a professional Marley covering and 2 Dance spaces (20ft x 20ft each) will be provided for graded competitions. A practice area will also be set up for the competitors. A canteen will again be provided for all, serving tea, coffee, soup, fresh sandwiches, and much more. There will be also be a sweet shop available.

I am delighted to say that we are expecting to have a very special visitor for the weekend that the children might like to get a photo with, however this does depend on how busy he will be with the run up to Christmas. Ho Ho Ho!!! But he has assured us that we are on his list.

This year we will be having 3 adjudicators at the feis and again as per last year all open championships will be held on Saturday 11^th and all Grade competitions including Mean Grad (Intermediate) Championships will be held on Sunday 12^th.  In all championships where a competitor does not recall they will automatically qualify for a separate set competition that I am providing free of charge.
