Off to Liverpool again, we’ve been to this Feis a few times now,
always very very busy.
Megan danced very well especially in her heavy dances.

Well done Meg, you’re moving up the field now.
Another long day the Feis was running over an hour late when we
arrived!
Intermediate:
HC – Reel
4th – Slip Jig
7th – Heavy Trophy
Well done Meg, it’s an achievement just to be placed now you’re in
Intermediate.
Competition was tough today, but Megan still won a couple
of medals.
Megan and Beth were asked to take part in their first Premier
Competition, which is like a practice for the Championship where
dancers still in intermediate get the chance to win a trophy, sash
and TEDDY BEAR and collect them on a podium. Quite an experience.
12th – Reel
11th – Hornpipe
We went to Pudsey, Leeds today. Megan wore her new dress for the first
time today and looked absolutely stunning.
Megan won another handful of medals.

We travelled with Ruth and Beth to Derby today to take part in the Glendarragh
Feis.
We’re not experts on Irish Dancing regulations, but have attended quite a few
competitions now and this one completely baffled us. Dancers were able to
wear solo dresses and make-up in Novice, Primary and Intermediate grades.
They were also allowed to dance in both Primary and Intermediate Trophies
in the same age group. This feis was under the Midlands Feis Rules which
appear to be completely different to the North West Regional Rules Megan
normally competes under.
The important lesson learned was that she will not be competing out of the
North West Regional Feis until she has reached the Open grade.
Megan did achieve a 6th in the Intermediate Slip Jig, which taking everything
in to account was amazing, well done Meg. And we did have a lovely time on
the way home, stopping off in Buxton for tea, thanks Beth and Ruth.
Off to the Shadsworth Leisure Centre today, a very nice venue. They had three age groups dancing simultaneously, but still managed to run late……nothing new there then!
Megan is now beginning to get placed more regularly in the higher Intermediate level.
She did really well today.
