Subject: Scared to attend MWO

I have been reading comments about COVID and the MWO, and I also have to express my fear and concern about attending. My dancer, who has been looking forward to it, has recently expressed her fear about attending. As much as I hate to miss it, we are planning to stay home. I don’t think it’s worth it, and I cannot understand why the committee isn’t postponing it for later date.....or even cancel it altogether for the safety of our families. As it takes place during the Holidays, it could ruin so many Christmas’s for so many families. The virus is surging....Please consider canceling!

BALLROOMS
You must show your entry card to enter your competition ballroom. Upon entry you will select one of the banks of chairs as yours for the day. These banks of chairs are spaced 9ft x 9ft from the next bank of chairs and may not be moved. You may use the 9 feet of space in front of your chair for warming up, stretching, etc. The floor is concrete so plan accordingly.
Dancers will be called side stage in small groups to compete. When called, bring your small gift- size mask bag side stage with you, and stand in numerical order on a designated floor spot. At this time your accompanying spectator may walk forward and stand on one of the designated floor spots to watch you compete. After you complete your round, you and your spectator will return to your bank of chairs until called forward for your next round.
You may not enter any other ballroom unless you have an accompanying spectator card for that ballroom. Each ballroom will have a door to enter and a separate door to leave. A volunteer will be keeping a running count on the number of people in each ballroom and a separate volunteer will be at the door checking entry cards. There will also be event safety volunteers in the room at all times.
Teachers will be permitted to use the airwall doors to walk from stage to stage but may not have a dancer or accompanying spectator with them. The front row of chairs will be reserved for teachers to watch their students and will be socially distanced in banks of one or two chairs. These chairs may not be moved.

[> [> [> The Oireachtas committee put out very detailed plans. Everyone should have received them. the first 1/3 is allowed in 2 hours before dance starts. the second a half hour later, the third a half hour after that -- at some point the entire group will be in the room. up to 850 allowed--so way below, 00:40:25 11/19/20 Thu (NoHost/150.134.234.148)

[> MWO??? -- Wrong Region?, 00:43:39 11/12/20 Thu (024-171-001-207.res.spectrum.com/24.171.1.207)

What is MWO? If you're going to harass and agitate for attention at least figure out the name of our region and Oireachtas first. Or check your spelling.


[ Edit | View ]



[> You should contact the planning committee... email your concerns -- They don’t read voy, 12:43:18 11/12/20 Thu (17.sub-174-244-245.myvzw.com/174.244.245.17)

[> [> Actually, they do! -- MWO may be unsafe, 16:32:42 11/13/20 Fri (NoHost/128.252.172.26)

I have insider info that some members of the planning committee do read voy. However, this is still really good advice!

Since it's clear from your note that you're not actually in our region, your problem is solved. You can stay home and pray for our selfish, super-spreading souls all weekend long. Enjoy.

[> Postponement would be the worst of all possible outcomes, I believe. -- No name, 09:12:21 11/14/20 Sat (NoHost/12.47.77.139)

While CLRG now allows Oireachtaisi to take place through January, it seems more likely that infection rates then will be worse rather than better (I am far from a virologist). Postponement probably would be a prelude to cancellation, yet stretch out uncertainty through the holidays. My family has accepted the risk of attendance in November, and at the same time respects the decision of some others not to participate. It seems to me that there is no realistic third option.
