Updated GNCC Position on Coronavirus
The GNCC board of directors held a special meeting this evening. Given new information regarding the coronavirus pandemic and how fluid the situation is not only in our region but across the country and the globe, the board recommends that all GNCC clubs suspend operations until further notice.
To be clear, the board cannot mandate that any club suspend operations, but given that the health and safety of our members is our number one priority, we believe this is the most prudent action to be taken at this time. We advise clubs to contact their local health authorities as part of their decision-making process.
In addition, the GNCC board decided to postpone the annual member meeting previously scheduled for May 15-16, 2020 to a time to be determined and to suspend any GNCC sanctioned events until further notice.
We believe that these actions - our recommendation to suspend operations, postponement of the annual member meeting, and suspending any GNCC sanctioned events - are in accordance with the most recent advice sent by USA Curling on 3/12/2020.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to me at info@gncc.org.
