Registered numbers for both are <50% capacity. It's less of a "vote" between a wigless vs wigs-on feis, and more a sign that families are "voting with their feet" in general as dancers leave the sport in general. -- New England Irish Dancers

[> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: I agree. And taking this thread further in this direction--this is the first time in a decade that that no-one got on this board at noon sharp to complain about no hotels being available for Os.
