Don’t have any idea as I live in NSW but was considering other families who have to travel long distances (Nth Qld, Tasmania, SA, WA). There are other locations that have huge travel costs to consider too, not just WA dancers. -- Australian Irish Dance Message Board

Do you know how much money AIDA loses when Nationals is held in Perth, Cairns, Sydney, Melbourne etc? It's a shameful amount of money, ask your teacher. (NT) -- -, Sat, Oct 12 2019, 21:25:05"

- Have been told It’s because they can’t find a venue to hold it. Not sure if that has to do with size of venue or cost (NT) -- dm, Sun, Oct 13 2019, 20:04:21"
  - Too expensive and booked out 2-3 years in advance. (NT) -- Heard that somewhere, Mon, Oct 14 2019, 8:06:24"
    - Somehow it not expensive to hold at Olympic Park but it is in Melbourne? There are plenty of venues that would be cost 'suitable', VIC just needs to get ahead and look properly. (NT) -- ., Mon, Oct 14 2019, 9:29:44"
      - Of course it's expensive to have it at Olympic Park ! AIDA do their best to please everyone by moving the event around, but the financial loses are great. They should do whatever costs the least, or leaves them with the smallest debt. If this means sticking to the same venue every year then that's what they should do.
