To our feis registrants: We are aware of the new Massachusetts travel restrictions and continue to monitor the changing Covid climate. At this point as the NH guidelines remain unchanged, we are continuing to plan our Winter Feis. We understand there may be some registered families that are unable to abide by their state's travel restriction. If that is the case please email us at murrayirishcr@yahoo.com by Friday, November 27 to delete your registration and request a refund. As things evolve, we will continue to review our plans and stay in touch via this FB page. At this time we will not be accepting new dancer registrations.

[> [> Subject: Unfortunately CT just banned residents from going to out of state sports competitions- I don’t know where a Feis falls in those rules but it’s not looking good if you were planning to come from MA or CT now.

Author: ? [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 18:08:04 11/22/20 Sun You could be right, though- worth investigating for CT residents. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Not sure what to do. So this means that if we go to NH for three hours for the Feis we have to quarantine for 14 days? It is not really possible to test out under these circumstances since we would only be in the state a few hours.

[> [> Subject: We were planning on quarantining for 14 days anyway upon returning home, just to make sure we don't infect anyone. All working and doing school remotely anyway so I know we're lucky because we can easily do it

You are aware there is a global pandemic going on yes? Literally hundreds of thousands of American citizens dead, many of them as a result of people thinking "let's just have an event anyway". This is so dangerously irresponsible folks. Advertising it as "Covid Safe" means nothing. Nowhere is Covid Safe right now, except of course for any place with no people. . Numbers are escalating by the hour right now. It is terrifying that anyone in a position to dictate the terms regarding when and where a Winter 2020 Feis would happen is so bereft of sanity. It forces us to ask ourselves "are these people really that stupid?" And be glad for that, because if you are not stupid then you are something much, much worse.Happy Thanksgiving everyone

[> [> Subject: How do you say sanctimonious in Gaelic? People can risk assess for themselves. It’s called being an adult. 0.00038-that is the death rate in NH for this virus. Cumulative. As of 2 days ago.

[> [> Subject: I mostly disagree. I think their guidelines look sound. I would like to see them mandate that the dancers keep their masks on at all times. Right now they are allow to remove them to dance and this needs to change.

[> [> [> Subject: The syllabus indicated they are dancing one at a time. A mask while dancing by themselves seems a bit much.
