Anyone registered for the above camp needs to read the notice below. Camps involving Irish dance portions involving children from more than one Irish dancing school registered with CLRG will be considered equal to a workshop so the camps must apply for OPEN WORKSHOP status to exempt the participants from being connected to each other due to the current Workshop Association Rules. Such applications have a due date and a list of criteria to follow, as one would expect.
Where a camp such as CRC does not achieve OPEN status, all of the dancers attending will be deemed "connected". This means their teachers can not judge any of the dancers in attendance, their classmates and their workshop associaitons. If any of the instructors are certified teachers, then the same will apply to them too.
Anyone applying for camps where Irish dancing is featured should always check with their teacher first because attending could negatively impact an entire school.

Dear Fellow Teachers & Adjudicators,
This weekend we received word that Camp Rince Ceol has not been granted "Open Workshop" status by An Coimisiun for 2010. The Rules Committee felt that the "aims and activities of the camp did not reflect the intended 'spirit' of open workshops".
Camp Rince Ceol has been providing a wonderful Irish dancing summer camp experience for the past 11 years. Our camp was founded on principles fostering our Irish culture and heritage. We have always paid careful attention to keep our workshops focused on dance basics; never teaching new material or altering material taught by campers' TCRGs. We have offered workshops in Irish music and Irish language, in addition to our dance workshops.
We take great pride in our program and have always followed the rules set forth by An Coimisiun. We want our Irish Dance community to know that we are presently working on an appeal. We feel confident that An Coimisiun will work with us to clarify any changes we need to make to bring this to a positive outcome. If you would like to keep informed of our progress you can look to our website, www.irishdancecamp.com or ‘Friends of CRC’ on Facebook.
We appreciate any support you can provide and thanks again for your patience while we complete the appeal process.
Sincerely,
Camp Rince Ceol

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.
