IDTANA and Regional Dues
Members:
Effective 2011, all dues for the ECR and IDTANA will be collected in June to co-incide with the cut-off date for dues payable to An Coimisiun.
The change is occurring to tidy up the loophole of elapsed time between submitting paperwork from one body to another with respect to workshop conflicts and associations.

Worlds 2010 Results - Day Eight (Sunday)
What a wrap-up to what seemed like a never ending week.
In the Ladies Under 21, Emily Lupiano from Sue Fay Healy was sooooooooooo close missing the medals by only one, and Lauren Stewart from GC placed 19th.
In the Seniors, Emily Penner from BFOC placed 3rd, Emily Babyn from NFOC placed 10th and Heather Adlam from GC placed 18th. Collen McKay from NFOC recalled as well as Rae Giguere from BFOC.
Congratulations also goes out to Michael Keane of the Short school for recalling in Senior Mens and to Nick Andison from BFOC for recalling in the Junior Mens category.
Well, that's a wrap for 2010. Awesome job by our region. Recall or not, always remember it is a huge achievement just to be here and that hundreds of dancers would love to have the chance you had to compete. Well done everyone.
