[Cynnabar] All SCA activities canceled through end of APRIL

Mon Mar 16 12:13:59 EDT 2020

Hello all,

Per the kingdom seneschal, all SCA activities (weekend events, business
meetings, practices, etc) have been canceled through the end of APRIL:

"Dear Members of the Midrealm,

As the Dragon protects its treasure so do We, the Crown and Great Officers
of State wish to protect the great Populace of the Midrealm. Thus, with a
heavy heart, do We here proclaim the following:

All events (weekend events, business meetings, practices, other official
SCA activity, etc.) are hereby cancelled, effective immediately through the
end of APRIL. We will evaluate the situation at the end of April to
determine the next appropriate steps.

This determination was not made lightly. However, under recent guidance
from the CDC that activities with over 50 attendees be postponed and recent
closures and actions by state officials We feel this is the best course of
action for the safety of the Populace. If you’d like to see the referenced
guidance:

As previously announced 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.
