Tony's last head count was in the 600 range for entries at his last Vancouver Chirstmas feis. Lucky if you get 350 these days.... popularity is dwindling in Vancouver and in turn feis revenue. Feis expenses are even more since then... -- ., 22:23:18 10/10/09 Sat [1]

But schools need to decide of they want to keep it from dying entirely. If there are fewer and fewer local feisanna, there will ultimately be fewer and fewer dancers. Some local schools have a policy that their competitive dancers are required to do ALL local feisanna but not all schools do this and the entries suffer as a result. I understand that you can't expect parents to bear the cost of travel but I don't understand when local schools don't fully support one another's feis. -- NN, 08:23:31 10/11/09 Sun [1]
