Hi, All... Toronto attendance was significantly down during the 15/16 year, and it looks rather the same for 16/17. I'm wondering if the "good" dancers are preferring to dance at weekend events where the quality of the dancing is considerably better because of the skilled population that attend. Just putting that thought out there... I suppose the only way to know for sure is to poll people.... -Elizabeth Szekeres Talent Coordinator Toronto Contra Dance Sent from my iPhone > On Dec 6, 2016, at 10:02 AM, via Organizers <organizers(a)lists.sharedweight.net> wrote: > > Send Organizers mailing list submissions to > organizers(a)lists.sharedweight.net > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://lists.sharedweight.net/listinfo.cgi/organizers-sharedweight.net > > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > organizers-request(a)lists.sharedweight.net > > You can reach the person managing the list at > organizers-owner(a)lists.sharedweight.net > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Organizers digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
