In reply to: - 's message, "This ⬆️ This is exactly what I was saying before about nationals. The timing may not suit the 17/18 year olds doing their final exams but trying to squeeze another event into December would inconvenience everyone. Better to miss one year due to school than have a hectic December every year." on Sat, Feb 18 2023, 14:03:26"

That’s rubbish. It’s not just year 12. Uni exams are in October and November - some worth 70%. Some courses have compulsory prac. We juggle work and study and then the dance timetable is a weekday forcing us to choose. All we want is consideration of the timing of events. Just because it’s always been in September doesn’t mean it should always be. Look at the numbers in the older age groups and consider what it might look like if you applied some consideration. Last years nations was a joke with most over 15 age groups being less than 30 competitors.

I understand what you are saying, but you surely realise that pretty much every parent who has a younger dancer also works, most have other children to consider as well and various other family commitments. There is no one week or day that will suit everyone. If the timetable for any event doesn't suit you, you don't go, end of story, same for everyone. (NT) -- -, Mon, Feb 20 2023, 6:27:04"
