[Cynnabar] All activities cancelled through the end of March, 2020

[Cynnabar Seneschal via Barony]

Per the kingdom seneschal, all SCA activities, including practices, events,
and meetings, are cancelled *effective immediately* through the end of
March:

"Dear Children of the Dragon,
In these troubled times we seek to do our best to protect and defend.
Sometimes that means making difficult decisions for the health and safety
of those that need it most. Thus on behalf of the Crown and the Great
Officers of State, hear and know the following:
• Gulf Wars has been officially cancelled.
• All events (weekend events, business meetings, and practices, etc.) are
hereby cancelled, effective immediately through the end of March. We will
evaluate the situation at the end of March to determine the next
appropriate steps.
Pre-registration of events through PayPal will be disable until further
notice. It is recommended that local branches stop offering a
pre-registration option to avoid potential issues with refunds due to
cancelled events or requests due to illness. To help ease the potential
impact of these decisions, the Middle Kingdom will be making the following
financial policy changes:
For local branches hosting events, the Middle Kingdom will assist local
groups who provide site refunds to individuals who request one due to them
or a family member being ill. Such requests would have to occur on or
before the event. Policy to be re-evaluated in 60 days.
Local groups forced to cancel the use of a venue by government, venue, the
Board of Directors of SCA, Inc. or by the Middle Kingdom: If the venue does
not offer a full refund of the deposit and the forfeiture of the deposit
would result in the group having a balance of less than $500 in their
account, the Kingdom will assist to ensure a minimum of $500 remains in the
group's accounts for ordinary operational costs. Policy to be re-evaluated
in 30 days.
It saddens us that we must make such decisions and know they are not made
lightly.
