Just got this email from the Orgineser.
Dear Colleague,
I hope you and your members are well during these very unusual times.As you were perhaps expecting, we have regrettably had to take the decision to cancel the International Model Boat Show as a result of the impact of Covid-19.
The decision to cancel the event until November 2021 ensures safety and will enable the team to deliver the highly popular event without compromise next year.Like many other organisers we have been watching the criteria for events unfold. Venues are only currently planned to reopen from 1st October subject to successful outcomes of the mass gathering pilot studies. There are also ongoing government restrictions in place for the continuing management of this pandemic which are subject to change at any time.
We are positive that considerable social distancing measures will need to be in place regardless. We feel these would have a significant impact on our ability to present the event to the normal size and format for everyone’s enjoyment. Therefore, we have come to the sensible and responsible decision to cancel the event until November 2021.
We are aware that our loyal supporters will be disappointed with this decision but it would not be right to organise an event that does not meet the high expectations that have been set over the last 22 years.
We will be in touch in with all the details for next year’s show in the coming months and in the meantime we hope you stay safe.
Kind regards
Avril
