Hello BHDA families! In this newsletter, you'll find information and reminders about:
October Competition
Thank you to all the families who have signed up for their volunteer shift at the October 18 competition, being held at the NationsWEST Fieldhouse. If you haven't signed up yet, go to https://www.volunteersignup.org/488KP. All shifts come with training, so don't worry about signing up for something new! Questions? Email Jamie at jamiedannymac_@hotmail.com.
Still need to register your dancer for the competition? The online competition registration form is here: http://www.eventry.net/cmhdf/canadian-midwest-highland-dance-2014
Expense Claims
Please note all expense claims submitted to the treasurer must include both the expense claim form and receipts. Find the expense form here: http://www.battlefordshighland.ca/resources-and-links.html
BHDA Bus Trip
BHDA is tentatively planning a group trip to the Saskatchewan Highland Gathering & Celtic Festival in Moose Jaw and Regina over the May long weekend. This is a great weekend that includes two competitions (Saturday and Sunday) as well as children's activities, pipe band competitions, Scottish heavy athletics, and of course, a great ceilidh.
There's no need to commit at this point, but in order to price out some transportation and hotel options, please email Kerilyn at battlefordshighland@gmail.com to indicate your interest in taking part in this trip by November 15. Entire families would be welcome, so let us know how many adults and children would potentially travel with the group. More details to follow in early 2015.
Lost and Found
It's bound to happen - items are lost, and items are found! Anything left behind at lessons will be posted on our website here: http://www.battlefordshighland.ca/member-news/lost-and-found If you are looking for something, emailbattlefordshighland@gmail.com to have your 'lost' item posted.
2014 Tartan Tea photos
At our the September BHDA meeting, it was decided that we would contact the photographer who took the last year's Tartan Tea photos to arrange for refunds and to ensure remaining photos are delivered. Any parents who did not receive their Tartan Tea pictures due to the photographers's computer issues and did not arrange retakes should email battlefordshighland@gmail.com by October 15, 2014.
Medal Tests
While exact dates for medal tests have yet to be confirmed, teachers will start working with dancers on their set dances over the coming weeks. Be sure to ask the teachers if you have any questions.
