After the deadline date of 15 June we began to optimize the BSS 2010 schedule. Firstly it turned out that two workshops will have to be cancelled. Their rescue was not helped even by the extended deadline which I hoped would increase the number of applications. Just as last year, the flute workshop was cancelled as well as, quite hard for me to understand why, the fiddle workshop. Both seminars were occupied by one candidate. There are about 30 teachers teaching only this instrument in Miltown Malbay. I'm sorry because we have lost a melodic instrument. But what can we do.
 

When we started preparing this jubilee 10th edition of the summer school, we gave a lot of thought to ways how to make it special, how to celebrate this little anniversary. We wanted to come up with something to reward our regular attendants and motivate those who would be there for the first time to visit again. Finally we agreed on inviting special guests to the Final Evening – people who are interesting for our activities in some way.
