I am still waiting to hear back about NASS 2011, but I have got a little news and I guess Masters and NASS want the same weekend next year for the contests, which really sucks. But hopefully they will work it out and not be on the same weekend. I should hear from them soon though.
Also.. I have been talking with the organizers from FISE about a girls class for FISE 2011.
This is the message I got back from them..
Hello Angie, thx for your email. I spoke quickly yesterday with Ben about this possibility. Johan, in copy, is in charge of the contests during the FISE. Hervé, Anne-Cécile, what do you think about this idea ? I believe it could be a good thing for several reasons : open the event to girls, develop the level, give us a new media angle … but we are so tight on the schedule ! As describe below, it could be ok (maybe qualifications on wednesday and finals on thursday) ?… Anyway, Johan will think about it and get back to you,
Olivier
Hopefully I will hear back from them soon.. I will post an update if I get the okay. 🙂
