From the Winkipop website:
Hello All,
The photos for the AIO won’t be online til Wednesday.
Long story short, we got screwed over by Jetstar on Thursday night with my flight from Sydney to the Gold Coast which they cancelled at 630pm citing bad weather(which was rubbish, given that other airlines were operating without a problem). They then lost our bags (which was extraordinary given that the plane never took off) for 2hrs and then by 10pm when we got served at the counter to re-book our flights we were told that all the Friday flights to Brisbane and the Gold Coast were full and that my earliest flight up was early afternoon Saturday!
Anyway, I arranged for a couple of QLD based photographers to cover the Fri/Sat/Sun. They’ll be express posting a hard drive to me and I should get it Tuesday afternoon and I’ll be publishing the photos then.
Thanks for your patience. Regards, Shaun

- There were no photos taken for the U11 or U12 presentations. Extremely dissapointing. I was going to reply on the photographer and purchase a few pics, as I've done before. Previously they have been fine with a few to choose from, but looking at these images they are not that impressive and my daughter was well placed in her section, so I was expecting some nice images to view. Now, nothing to show which is very annoying. -- DM, Wed, Jul 18 2018, 23:24:51"
- All the photos from the photographer at the AIO are now on their website. I was looking forward to seeing and purchasing some photos but what I've seen is very dissapointing. I know it wasn't their usual photographer taking the pics but really, not good images. An event like this should have been better serviced with regards to professional photo services. Such a shame :-( -- DM, Thu, Jul 19 2018, 11:38:28"

- Milton's photos are amazing. Would happily pay him but will not be purchasing any of these ones they are not worth half the cost they are charging. (NT) -- Disgusted, Thu, Jul 19 2018, 18:34:24"
- When you check the FB page you can see the photographer was photographing elsewhere all that weekend and on the visitor posts you can see a rather rude comment towards a paying client. Certainly won't be purchasing as the photos are not good and the attitude of the person seems even worse. (NT) -- Lost for words, Thu, Jul 19 2018, 21:58:28"

- Should dressmakers give out free dresses? teachers give free classes? Every time you get something for free, someone else loses out.

- I think it's because the photographer pays a fee to be there then makes that back by selling the photos. Milton doesn't charge for his pics so can't afford to be there. I would be happy to pay for Milton and Julia's pics as they get great action shots (NT) -- .., Sun, Jul 15 2018, 9:21:27"

[ Post a Reply to this Message ][ Edit | View ]
Replies:
- As far as I can see, as with Australian retailers, GST is only charged by "Businesses with sales of AUD75,000 or more to consumers in Australia within a 12 month period". So used dresses sold by individuals will not attract gst if under $1,000 as well as businesses who sell less than 75K to solely Australian customers. The new low value import gst will be charged by the business at the point of sale, not when it enters Australia. Import duty on goods over $1000 will still be charged on entry to Australia as normal. Link inside.. -- hth, Fri, Jun 29 2018, 23:13:30"
- Short answer is yes for items under $1000 and rules remain unchanged for items over $1k or GST and import duties collected at the border. (NT) -- Seller applies GST at time or purchase., Sat, Jun 30 2018, 10:29:08"

What a well run feis, very pleasant and helpful organisers and volunteers, fantastic warmup/practice floor. Just one suggestion: Sunday afternoon was a very long session, would have been so much better split into 15-17 and 18s and over so dancers don't have to be there for 6 hours.

[ Post a Reply to this Message ][ Edit | View ]
Replies:
- Every Australian should be elgible to compete at Nationals. What a ridiculous idea that any Australian wouldn't be eligible to compete at their own Nationals. Which Nationals should they compete at? (NT) -- Beat them on the stage!, Sun, Jun 10 2018, 20:52:42"
- Need to be registered with a AIDA at close of entries. So you'd have to be dancing in Australia at that time. (NT) -- Not sure how associations would impact on this. I.e. if your school has a formal association with OS school., Mon, Jun 11 2018, 0:26:58"
- If they can’t compete then that’s just stupid. If you are Australian why can’t you compete at Nationals. Don’t use the excuse that’s its unfair as every other sporting athlete train overseas where there are better facilities and competition. Sometimes people are forced to move OS due to circumstances, so why should the be restricted. (NT) -- Training OS doesnt necessarily make champions, you still have to have the talent and dedication, Mon, Jun 11 2018, 13:02:47"
- Although some do not move OS due to their own choosing, you would be blind if you did not recognise that it has lately become a 'trend' to train OS for the experience, opportunities etc. Many make the decision to train OS, rather than in aus, so there should be no complaining about being unable to compete in aus championships. Besides, there are an extremely large amount of feises and championships OS so you would hardly be missing out on chances to compete. People from other countries cannot compete at aus nationals, so if you are training OS, you should be unable too. (NT) -- Disagree all you like., Tue, Jun 12 2018, 20:15:52"
- Just another stupid CLRG rule. If you have an Australian passport than you should be able to compete at your Nationals, shouldn't matter what school you're at. Those who say they shouldn't be allowed are usually the first one's to cry when their daughter is given such an opportunity to live and train overseas. (NT) -- The more Aussies at Nationals the better the competition, Wed, Jun 13 2018, 10:06:42"
- What aussies won’t make it back for the nationals -- Just curious, Thu, Jun 14 2018, 20:12:08"
- So what if a dancer lives here but their teacher lives overseas? (NT) -- Xxx, Mon, Jun 18 2018, 9:21:48"

- The AIDA NSW website has announced an accommodation package available for the State championships. This information is useless if we don't know what days to book. I understand the actual timetable may not be available until entries have been received but can we please have a days only timetable. This is necessary for work committments as well. If it can be done for the AIO and national championships I don't see why it can't be done for states. -- Dance mum who can only afford to pay for one nights accomodation., Fri, Jun 08 2018, 13:22:51"

- Alleged ‘Re-styling’ Ban -- Curious, Tue, May 29 2018, 2:11:18"
Can anyone explain the difference between the 6 month so called ‘restyling’ ban for dancers changing schools (therefore unable to compete etc etc) against there being no ‘restyling’ ban on dancers when a school closes or splits?
Surely if it’s a supposed ‘restyling’ reason it shouldn’t matter if the dancer leaves a school of their own accord or the school closes. It seems somewhat one sided.
Asking for a friend.

- Haha yes, they can spin it however they like by giving it a passive name, but we all know that it is a ban designed solely to discourage people from moving schools and a punishment when you do. We had no ban in ACT the whole time my dd danced and I believe there was no ban in QLD either and it worked fine, never a problem and the TC gave to go ahead to feis when they thought a dancer was ready. TC can do whatever they like with the knowledge that no matter how badly they treat you, if you leave it's you who suffers, not them. It's a punishment and (NT) -- nothing more, Tue, May 29 2018, 9:41:12"
- Though isn't it if you move a far enough distance away, there is no ban? (NT) -- Only local? Or did I dream that?, Tue, May 29 2018, 10:29:24"
- There was a "significant distance" rule that meant no ban if you moved far enough away, not sure if that's still a rule or not. As the OP said, it is ridiculous that if your school closes and you get a free transfer to a new school, there is no ban, so how do those dancers not need "restyling" but others who move schools do? So silly. (NT) -- -, Tue, May 29 2018, 13:01:23"
- Rules state over 50kms no ban is to be imposed but they still impose a ban even if you do and we know this for a fact. (NT) -- DM, Tue, May 29 2018, 19:56:37"
- Regardless of the name, dancers who change schools out of choice know the rules and have transferred anyway. (NT) -- If you leave at the end of nationals, you won't miss any Australian comps., Tue, May 29 2018, 15:05:16"
- My daughter's school closed down so she had no choice but to change schools, so why should she be penalised. In other circumstances you have a choice. (NT) -- Mum, Tue, May 29 2018, 15:38:01"
- You don't always have a choice, schools change, different people arrive, TC attitude changes, kids get bullied by other dancers, class timetable changes making it impossible to attend, should those dancers be punished? No, your daughter should not be penalised because her school closed down, no dancer should be penalised because they want to go to a different school. Where else in life are you penalised for changing a service provider? Imagine if you wanted to change from Telstra to Optus but the penalty was changing ISP means you have to go 6 months on dial up speed.. ridiculous, yes? (NT) -- -, Tue, May 29 2018, 16:02:41"
- If her school closed down then you should have been notified of a one month free transfer to a new school without penalty (NT) -- Check with your state head if that's the case, Wed, May 30 2018, 1:55:50"
- Explain why Trad Sets can't be danced - no restyling needed there. What kind of black hearted souls punish small children for their parents' consumer choices? (NT) -- Oh wait, they would be the same black hearted souls that enjoy using this ban as leverage over chiildren who just want to keep going to the feis..., Wed, May 30 2018, 1:44:19"
- Does a ban help to prevent poaching? (NT) -- Another perspective, Wed, May 30 2018, 1:58:37"
- Its Irish Dancing, not professional football or the like! (NT) -- And even then...no ban!, Wed, May 30 2018, 2:20:16"
- And once again, why should a child be punished for this? If anyone should be punished it should be the person doing the poaching. When there was no ban in ACT there were almost no transfers between schools, I can think of three, maybe four in 15 years. People don't take transferring lightly, there has to be something seriously wrong for this to happen so why would a TC want to keep a seriously unhappy family in their school anyway? is it not better for everyone, family and TC, if they move on? It's just spiteful to punish the child stuck in the middle. (NT) -- -, Wed, May 30 2018, 8:59:19"
- Outdated and archaic practices for what is essentially and predominantly a children's sport. One which is meant to be fun for them but is filled with more politicos than many other sports and dance forms. Change needs to occur but it won't as those that can change it don't want to as it covers and protects their own ar*es and ultimately that is all they care about. (NT) -- DM, Wed, May 30 2018, 12:27:28"
- I am a dancer and requested my parents allow me to transfer. My previous tcrg was clearly not interested in me. She had a champion. She thought we were stupid enough to think she cared. She clearly did not. I was glad of the restyling period. It gave me time to settle, focus on new teaching styles and new material. I have the most beautiful relationship with my new tcrg and I am a different dancer. Can not wait for the next part of this journey. (NT) -- Happy Dancer!, Wed, May 30 2018, 13:28:59"
- It's to discourage studio hopping; however, it's a welcome period as it gives the dancer time to settle in, learn new steps, make friends and become part of their new school. (NT) -- long timer, Thu, May 31 2018, 11:47:20"
- The down side is that schools are stuck with families who are no longer committed to the school and causing havoc but won't leave because they don't want to miss state/nationals. (NT) -- wud be best for everyone if they cud just go, Thu, May 31 2018, 12:28:46"
- I don’t think many go that. People don’t stay when they are not happy with the service or whatever is making them leave. Nott just to do Nationals. There is an appropriate time to leave and nit be affected. (NT) -- DM, Thu, May 31 2018, 15:58:24"
- One Senior dancer just moves states instead of schools THREE TIMES (NT) -- that is committment, Thu, May 31 2018, 21:07:34"
- I think the senior dancer you may be referring to moved states due to life / work circumstances, not to avoid a re-styling ban. (NT) -- Parent., Mon, Jun 04 2018, 18:54:28"

Very disappointing there was no warm up/practice area for this comp. To perform at their best and avoid injuries dancers need to warm up properly. Aren't there any decent venues at affordable prices in Sydney?
