Who has classes on February 15th? -- Wondering, Tue, February 09, 03:43:54pm
Its family day be we do have classes. Have noticed other's don't. Just curious to see who will still have classes.
If you do, will you go or miss it because its a holiday.
If you don't, do you wish your teachers would do a class with the MW feis being on the weekend?
Do you have other classes during the week.

Just went to the GC board looking for a phone number and there is a huge list of dresses for sale in that school. No information but just the pictures of what they have to sell. Because they are all in the ECR its a great idea to post the pictures so others can see.

My daughter is competing in the Mary Woodgate feis. She is eleven years old and in advanced beginner. I have two older girls in higher levels and have forgotten the official rules about hair and makeup for this level. Are advanced beginners allowed to wear wigs but no makeup? Makeup but no wigs? Neither? If I remember correctly the rules have recently changed. I will confirm with my tc this weekend, but thought I'd ask here first. -- thanks!, Mon, February 08, 08:09:48am

Two moving boxes FULL of gorgeous fabrics! -- Andrea Yates, Thu, February 04, 07:28:56am
I have two big boxes of high quality, sequin, velvet etc fabric here-finally have everything boxed up and the room cleaned out. If anyone would like it (free of charge of course) then please email me and you can drop by and pick it up-otherwise I will most likely just donate it to charity. This would be perfect for mums experimenting on that first dress etc. I really would like to see someone in the ID world use it rather than just give it away. I can even store it in a back room until the London feis in May as coming from the TO area you literally drive right by my house to get there. I am just off the 401 in Kitchener.

The others who may have come close with 1st's don't. There are so few feis after the O to still qualify., Mon, October 05, 05:10:40pm
- Those dancers have every opportunity to work hard to achieve their firsts regardless of whether there's another dancer in their comp who already has. Nobody is unbeatable.

With all our constant dress shipping and receiving going on, has anyone heard about this?? Just heard about this from a work collegue. Is it true about Canada Post?? see inside -- I've always sent my dresses to buyers through a Shoppers Drug Mart Canad Post office, Thu, January 28, 10:15:14am
Here’s some information you probably didn’t know.
Canada Post, from a random blog:
" I learned something over Christmas that I feel compelled to share with you.
This won't change your life dramatically or help you survive the apocalypse but it will save you some $$$.
I recently mailed two identical packages via Canada Post one week apart.
One would think that the postage should be exactly the same...well, let me tell you...
Pkg # 1 was mailed from an actual Canada Post Office. Postage came to $11.74. Since I knew a second identical package would be mailed in about a week's time, I bought sufficient postage for the second pkg while I was there.
When it came time to mail Pkg #2, I went to the post office in Shopper's Drug Mart. I handed the pkg to the clerk to be put in the outbound mail bag, I was informed that I did not have sufficient postage attached. The clerk proceeded to inform me that I needed to purchase and additional $6 worth of stamps. After explaining how I knew exactly what the postage should be, the clerk offered some lame excuse that Canada Post is unionized and they can say and do anything with impunity and if I wished to mail that pkg from Shopper's then I needed to purchase more stamps.
I told the clerk to stuff it and took back my package and headed to the "real" Canada Post Office, where I would raise hell...
Much to my surprise, the Canadian Postal Clerk took my package, weighed it and tossed it in the mail bag, and it was it's way...When I asked if the amount of Postage I had put on the parcel was right she shook her head and said "yup, no problem"...
The Truth comes out:
Canada Post Offices charge postage for packages at the published Canada Post rates.
Franchise locations such as Shoppers Drug Mart can charge whatever they like.
So remember if you regularly mail packages at franchise locations (ie Shoppers Drug Mart,) you are probably paying too much. Franchise locations are found in shopping malls, drug stores and private businesses everywhere. From now on, all of my mailing will be done from a real Canada Post location.
Still perplexed by what I was told by the girl in Shoppers, I fired off an email to Canada Post for clarification.
This is the reply I got from them:
Thank you for your message to Canada Post.
A postal outlet is not a federal government agency and is not owned or managed by Canada Post. For example if the postal outlet is within grocery store or pharmacy it would follow the stores working hours, therefore if the store must be closed, so will the postal outlet inside.
Only Canada Post Depots and Corporate Post Offices are obligated to follow the price of stamps and postal products that are legislated by Canada Post. Any commercial and private establishment may charge extra fees as a convenience to their customers. It is at their discretion to apply additional service fees to products that they sell. We suggest visiting a Corporate Post Office in order to avoid paying additional service charges that corner stores or other establishment may implement on their products.
Regards,
Veronika Strofski
Customer Service "
How's that for privatization?

FeisFaces.com -- Colleen, Tue, January 26, 01:28:10pm
Hi everyone! I am a mom of a novice/PW DD and a web designer. I've spent the past several months developing a new ID website called FeisFaces.com: an online feis journal for recording your family's feis results and experiences. I'd love it if you all would give it a try - membership is free!
You can enter your feis memories, a review, marks for each dancer in your family, and even upload photos from the feis. You can choose to share your feis journals with other FeisFaces.com members, your teacher, or faraway relatives.
In the coming year, I will be enhancing the website to give members the ability to order a feis memory book which would include all of their marks, feis journals, and photos for any feis results that they've entered. Another option I plan to offer would be "Print-your-own" Feis Faces Journal pages as a low cost option if you'd like to print your feis journal to put in your own scrapbook or photo album. Or you could just keep it all online with your FREE membership!
I hope ID families find FeisFaces.com to be helpful if you're buried in stacks of marks, photos, etc. like we are! After registering and trying it out, I'd appreciate hearing your feedback or ideas for future enhancements. Thank you!

Donations to Haiti for CD sales and downloads -- Mark Arrington, Fri, January 22, 03:14:42pm
For every CD sale or download over $8.99 on CD Baby, they are donating $1 to the American Red Cross and to Mercy Corps, a Portland-based relief organization with a large presence in Haiti.
Feis dance music on CD Baby includes Mark Arrington, Chris & Michelle McLaughlin, Ellery Klein, Mike Fitzpatrick, and Niall Mulligan. Just search for the names on the main page and the albums will come up. (while you’re there, check out my Irish singing band, Celtic Crossroad!) CD baby is at www.cdbaby.com.
I’m president of the local Rotary Club. If you’d like to donate quickly and easily without buying Irish music, you can text ROTARY to 90999 and $5 will go to the Rotary Foundation’s Haiti Relief Fund. For more info on Rotary go to www.rotary.org.
Thanks!

BOGO on Mods tops -- Paddy Kelleher Designs, Thu, January 21, 07:02:09pm
I was able to purchase the wicking fabric in white used to make the tops at a discount. It is the last of my suppier's stock.
To pass this one I am offering a buy one/get one sale for a limited time.
please see www.paddyk.com
As many of you know, the Modest-tee(mod top) is a practical way to protect the investment you have made in your dance dress. The tops holds moisture while the dress is worn, keeping your dress dry while it is on, then the top pulls the moisture to the surface once exposed to air so both dancer and dress are kept dry.
As popular as the Mod tops have been, I am not sure how much longer we can continue to produce them. Yet another North American mill has shut down and I am looking for another fabric supplier to continue to make these tops.
I have always tried to keep all fabric and manufacture in North America and want to thank everyone who has supported us in this through the years.
Paddy

Mary Woodgate Feis -- Denise (Way to go!), Tue, January 19, 01:36:45pm
Lots of people are quick to complain about a feis, but not necessarily so quick to give accolades, so I just wanted to commend the webmaster for posting the links, prices, and policies about food. Drink prices are high, so I suspect there will be plenty of "discreet" drink smuggling, but I am incredibly pleased to see a veggie burger option. What a pleasant change from the usual option of cheese pizza, thank you!
