Seems like every regional and sectional has been announced except for the adults for this upcoming season. Anyone have any news? I'm hoping Easterns will be a bit closer to the NE this time around, like they were when they were in Wayne NJ in 2007/8. Going to NC last year would have been fun, but that's one heck of a long drive to take with an 8 year old....

Thanks in advance for any news!

I heard from a quite reliable source that Easterns will be in NC again this coming year.

I dunno re the dates.

Thanks for the info Sara. If that's the case I unfortunately will not be able to attend this year either -- it's just too long of a drive and too much time is needed having to take off of work/kid out of school for the drive time for me, especially when I would only be competing in non-qualifying events anyway.

I am planning on competing in the Colonial FSC's all adult open comp in March -- anyone else going to give this new competition a try too? Maybe they'll let my DS be a flower/goodies sweeper for the higher level events.....

That's EXCELLENT you're coming to Colonial's competition! It will be awesome, I promise you that. It's a great time to get one more competition in between Easterns and ANs. I am involved in planning it, and I'll field any questions or suggestions about it! http://www.colonialfsc.com/adult.htm

Uggh, flutz I'm in the EXACT same boat as you except my son is 10, will be 11 at that time. But I am interested Stormy in the competition your club is hosting! Will there be solo dance events? Please say yes. That's all I do now.

I get that about driving with children -

keep an eye on flights though - I've gotten RT tix to RDU for $120 from Western NY - JetBlue goes there!

Hmm - pondering the competition at Colonial - if they offer IJS I could think about getting myself there.

I'm bummed it might not be in a location I can reasonably drive to, but if flights are that cheap, I'm definitely going!!

Yes. They are defintiely planning solo dance.

I am unsure of IJS right now, I know myself and a couple others are REALLY REALLY pushing for it, but it's leaning towards probably not.

YAY!! I will put the dates on my calendar and plan to attend!! Hope we can all meet and flutz would you bring your son? My DH and DS usually come with me when I compete. AND, since it's close I may even be able to have my coach come!!! Hope so!! Double yay!!

Ooh, during the Winter Olympics, especially the skating. This is when Easterns were in 2006 as well.

Nova, do you have any info on attending the Olympics and obtaining tickets? I would consider going to Vancouver if I can see the skating!

I guess you could check here for any and all info:

Wow, where in NC?

Due to my pay cut I'm off ice indefinitely and haven't even renewed my club membership or US Figure Skating membership...but I'm hoping this situation can change...

in Hillsboro, near the Raleigh/Durham area. Yes, it's where the 06 Adult Easterns were, and where last year's were.

They did a really good job last year, so I am glad they're getting it again.

Oh yay! They really did do a great job. Thanks!

(boy am I out of the loop [literally and figuratively] - need to get back on the ice, I should know this!)

Aren't they technically supposed to rotate between regions? Not too fair to us up north...

The "regular" Regionals I believe are supposed to, but not enough clubs bid on Adult Sectionals for it to have a chance to rotate around the regions. I wish we had that problem!

and, it's been in NY State or area for a few years in a row - I forget the order, but there was Cicero near Syracuse, then Sky Rink, then NJ (though maybe NC was in between Sky Rink and NJ, I forget - or somewhere else?)....it really depends on who bids.

2004 Cicero, NY (Syracuse area)
2005 Manhattan
2006 Hillsborough, NC
2007 Acton, MA
2008 Wayne, NJ
2009 Hillsborough, NC
2010 Hillsborough, NC
