Behind the Scenes - Events in the US for 2021

Pardon our dust.  We're going to start with that important thing.

TLDR: We ARE event planning for the US but full details are below.

Will there be events in the USA in 2021?  The honest answer is that we don't know and that's why we're bringing you today's article.  

COVID-19 wrecked every single event in the US and the UK last year and we have zero regrets about doing the right thing to keep people safe by cancelling last year.  The situation we have today is still bleak and grim but there is hope because of the vaccination efforts.  How long the vaccination rollout takes is a completely different story and it will greatly impact our events.  To provide a brief bullet point of our current even planning efforts and thoughts:

• US Branch staff and Ownership ARE planning to bring events in 2021.
• This will include the five (5) Regionals and the National.
• It should be noted the the window for reporting the event details has been extended from February 28th to May 15th so we can monitor the situation.
• Each Regional Coordinator will make the decisions they feel best for their Region.
• Each Coordinator has the right to scrap an event if they feel it is not safe to host a Regional due to virus intensity or lack of vaccination.
• The Branch Chairman usually has a duty to ensure all Regions hold an event; however, this power was put in place without something like COVID ever being a factor and so this requirement is being waived in 2021.
• We are still looking at the National and discussing potential locations and timelines.
• Major cities are already off the table due to the virus.
• Late fall/early winter are far more likely due to vaccination.
• If you have been sick within a week of the event, DO NOT show up.
• If you feel sick at the time of the event, DO NOT show up.

We appreciate your patience in this matter and we look forward to having more information for you as it becomes available.  The UK Branch will provide you an update on their event(s) when they are ready.  For any questions or comments on the US events, please feel free to reach out to Shadow at titan.owners.club.usa@gmail.com or Tagg at titan.owners.club.moderati@gmail.com.
