I would have complained about this too until I ran a feis. I was SHOCKED at how expense they are to run. It's a feedback loop. Fees go up because entries are down, entries stay down because fees go up. -- New England Irish Dancers

[> [> [> Subject: Schools need to get together- make 1 bigger double weekend feis and share the cost
Author: TRW [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 07:51:53 06/05/23 Mon It makes it so one school isn’t solely responsible and if you can make an amazing theme weekend feis people would rather attend one well attended, hyped up feis rather than a small one struggling to make numbers [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> Subject: I think it should be mandatory that each school either hosts or co-hosts a feis each year. It's a lot of work and expense. Some schools are just freeloaders, happy to go feis but not willing to put in the work the rest of us are doing.
