[> Subject: Sadly it is once again in Hartford. Getting really sick of that place, wish it would go back to much more centrally located Providence. It's always the weekend before Thanksgiving.

[> [> [> Subject: I think we've been more than patient, thanks. It's been too many years in horribly inconvenient Hartford. Which tells me the 4 nothernmost NE states matter not at all to NEIDT.

[> [> [> [> Subject: Or maybe it just indicates that it's difficult to procure an affordable venue with hotels in the area willing to offer a block. Contracts are signed for years to save money.

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: Your comment doesn't make sense to me. Being in Providence did not cost more than being in Hartford.

[> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: It was going to cost the region more to continue hosting it in Providence. At the time it was not affordable. Contract has since been re-negotiated.

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: My point is that it has nothing to do with the region "not caring". They are volunteers doing the best they can to get a venue for this event.

[> [> Subject: This! I can’t believe the amount of witching that goes on. Why do you people even participate in Irish dance?

[> [> Subject: People are allowed to express their opinions. That's not whining. But in any event nobody had said a word about it for 2 weeks before you decided you needed to come along and tell them to "stop whining".
