The Mid-Atlantic Fleadh was a great success. Thanks again to all of you that volunteered - sat at the door, sold raffles, slaved in the kitchen, doored competition rooms and to all of you that worked in the office with myself & Tom Madden. The Fleadh Ceili was fantastic - thanks again to the Pearl River Ceili Club for running it.

Congratulations to all the competitors that entered and to all that qualified to compete in Ireland in August. Good luck!
