Hello Guinness World Record Holders, supporters and fellow organizers,

I hope you all enjoyed your summer and the transition back to school for the kids has not been too difficult. Speaking as a parent, back to school good not come fast enough. By now, anyone who ordered a certificate should have received it, I hope the kids liked them. I am writing to let you know that the new Guinness Book of World Records will be coming out soon and yes we are in the book.



I also felt you should know that there has been a some activity surrounding our Guinness World Record which you may find of interest. There was an attempt made in Charlotte North Carolina, you can read about it for yourself here - http://www.irishcentral.com/ent/irish_dance/Step-Dancers-set-new-record-at-Charlotte-Irish-Summer-Festival-53361317.html

As you will see I have expressed my doubts about the validity of their attempt since they were in a circle not a straight line. You too can express your opinion about it in the blog section. I also have been in touch with Guinness to inquire about the validity of the attempt.

There was also an article in the Irish Times, which you can read here
http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/features/2009/0916/1224254638317.html
in which there appears to be a strong desire to get the record back to Ireland. While we have not been made aware of any official recognition of the record being broken, I thought you all should know that there are a few who are trying. If the attempt in Charlotte is recognized as being valid I will let you all know. What if anything are we going to do about it remains to be determined.

Keep well,
Bill Lee
