She's not wrong. Definitely not a level playing field. But kudos to the region for offering the only kind of competition that is safe to offer right now -- New England Irish Dancers

In reply to: Good luck to others though 's message, "My OC dd is not interested in on-line. She feels that not everyone will be on the same playing field with regards to the venue used for filming. We certainly don't have the space to film an the halls used for classes are rented only for class time and are not available on off times to use for filming. She will patiently wait for in-person to come back, whenever that may be." on 11:09:09 01/14/21 Thu

It's confusing why we are the only region who hasn't feised in almost a year and counting with nothing on the calendar...but if by fall the only way to get oirechtas is online, so be it...

Personally, I would not want to shell out the deposit for a venue, money for awards, etc. and then have to cancel the feis. Also, it's very difficult to find a venue willing to have an event in New England at the moment.
