Changes in the Schedule
Hello everybody!
Because of flight times for the adjudicator and the musician and because there has been an unexpected increase of intermediate and advanced competitors (which of course is a great thing) we have to change the schedule a bit on Sunday. This is to make sure that we finish on time so that none of you or the adjudicator or musician has to leave the competition before we finish. We know it is a late call, but we rater change the schedule now, and have the feis run on time, than having everybody nervous about not catching flights home.
We’re sorry for the inconvenience.
Sunday schedule
09:00 - Ceili and two hand team
09:30 - Intermediate competition
11:00 - Advanced competition
12:00 - Lunch
13:00 - Finals
14:00 - Awards Ceili/two hand and Int/Adv competition
14:45 - Closure of feis
