    No info on time table, vendors, food options, ballroom maps, practice rooms, etc. So far all we know are the honorees and that a handful of judges have been replaced.

  • KBZ bragging about holding her dancer back who won multiple 🥇 -- 2nd chance too - Disgusting, 16:44:20 10/03/24 Thu
    Also saw the dancer’s mom post she isn’t allowed to move to open until after Oireachtas even though she consistently gets 1st. This is not against the mom but how rude of KBZ to have this dancer compete in multiple second chances and take away opportunities from other dancers.

    No, my daughter did not dance in this dancers group but very selfish of the teacher. Constant bragging with her.

  • NER retired dancer turned SR resident! -- Slowey Photography, 09:12:57 11/05/24 Tue
    Since ending my competitive chapter years ago, I have made a career as a photographer specializing in Irish dance, seniors, and families. After living in Nashville for the past 4 years, I'm so excited to attend my first SRO!

    Slowey Photography captures dancers in an authentic style, based on their unique dance journey, for images that showcase what it truly means to define yourself as “Irish dancer”. I photograph these authentic moments by working with your dancer to learn about their personal relationship to the sport, so that when it’s time to hang up the wig they can look back on the memories that truly mattered the most. Plus, I bring over 20 years of competitive experience with me to coach them through poses to photograph the best technique for their skill level.

    I have sessions available in Orlando, December 6-8! I am offering both full length sessions, for the full experience with professional makeup included complimentary, styling assistance, location flexibility, and the ability to include Class of 2025 senior photos and/or siblings OR mini sessions for a more time and budget friendly option!

    Let’s work together to capture the photos the future version of your dancer is thanking you for.

    Get to know my story more by following along @SloweyPhotography on social media, or reach out for booking info at SloweyPhotography [at] gmail [dot] com

    I retired almost 4 years ago and am now feeling a want to come back. I now live in southern region and live between Atlanta and Chattanooga. I don’t know the region, the schools, or what the rules are to return. Would love some thoughtful responses regarding how, schools in the area who are welcoming to retirees returning. I was an open dancer, competed in all the majors and worlds. I’ve got a long road back to fitness and such though. Any advice would be appreciated.

    We all know she won’t judge them but favors will certainly occur. It seems several accused cheating schools are attending this year. PC/OC not worth attending for. Especially 715 OC but that’s a different reason.

  • I used to think Sandra Connick was honest, if not a bit stupid. She may sink the CLRG. -- Vote her out, 06:35:43 08/16/24 Fri
    The consensus when she took the helm was that she wasn't a bright woman but wanted to be an agent for change. However, when she finally got in a position of power, she continued the cover up started by James McCutcheon managing to waste a small fortune in cash reserves and accomplishing nothing except getting all cheaters off the hook. Why hasn't there been a movement to impeach Ms. Connick and replace her with someone who can reverse the direction we're heading. She's failed on all fronts and has been financially ruinous. It's clear she cannot do the job. Who will be brave enough to put up a public motion of no confidence?

  • Motions for June 14, 2024 Emergency General Meeting -- CLRG, 07:39:06 06/10/24 Mon

    MOTIONS:

    Motion 1: Proposed by Mary McGinty (Treasurer), seconded by Jennifer Bird & Council of Management

    That all future meetings for 2024/2025 will be on zoom with the exception of the AGM.

    Reason for motion: Due to the current financial situation of CLRG face to face meetings be temporarily suspended.

    X X X X X

    Motion 2: Proposed by Mary McGinty (Treasurer) seconded by Jennifer Bird & the Council of Management

    That the ADCRG registration & TCRG registration fee be increased by 100 euro each.

    Counter to Motion 2: From GB Chairs and Reps

    The Registration fee remains the same as this year with an additional levy to cover the exceptional one-off expenditure of the PR Company, SIA report, the appointment of the Managing Director and Communications & Marketing Manager agreed by the Registrants.

    X X X X X

    Motion 3: Proposed by Karen Petri and Lisa Petri

    That we increase the limits on airfare to the CLRG meetings and flagship events.

    X X X X X

    Motion 4: Proposed by Karen Petri and Lisa Petri

    That the reimbursement wires are sent within 10 business days of submitted receipts, or the individual can claim all financing charges incurred.

    X X X X X

    Motion 5: Proposed by Mary McGinty (Treasurer), seconded by Jennifer Bird & Council of Management

    Solo entries for Rince na Cruinne 2025 and subsequent years be raised by 100 euro.

    X X X X X

    Motion 6: Proposed by James McCutcheon

    Prior to agreeing any Increases in Oireachtas Fees, CLRG should consider realistic savings attainable by reverting back to pre-2019 judging systems. i.e. 1-day competitions for all categories. In addition, savings from other areas should also be considered. This would be for one year only, due to the considerable loss expected for Dublin 2025, should the status quo remain. Only once agreed savings have been factored in, should any increases in entry fees be made to attain a break-even budget.

    X X X X X

    Motion 7: Proposed by Helan Greene

    That Conradh na Gaeilge pay ALL expenses associated with their Representatives attending CLRG Meetings.
