2012 Festival Registration Report from Mike Sullivan

May 10, 2012

 

We are 52 days from the end of pre-registration and five days from the end of early bird pricing.

 

As of this morning, 2012 festival registrations are as follows:

 

62 Adult packages

18 Youth/Senior packages

8 Pavel workshops

5 Adult gym passes

3 Youth/Senior gym passes

39 spectator passes

6 joggling entries

2 vendor orders

1 team champs entry

1 juniors champs entry

1 individual champs entry

 

Martin’s online tracker contains details on additional show tickets sold outside of packages.

 

Many of the IJA BoD, staff and volunteers have not registered yet, and as there are no comps available this year, I would urge all of them to register prior to May 15th when early pricing ends.

 

As a reminder, your fest registrar will be away from May 12 to May 27 and will not be available on email or to handle any registration issues until we return on Memorial Day.

Website Team (David Landowne, Martin Frost, Mike Sullivan, Erin Stevens)… On the April BoD call, I gave my report on the three AMS systems I had surveyed as recommended by the consultant, and asked that the Board confirm with our donor what, if any, sponsorship or funding was available for making the move to a new system.

 

Having heard nothing in response, I have no further report this month, except to reiterate that I think the IJA needs to take a decision and move to some kind of modern AMS system this year if at all possible.
