Regrettably we have decided to cancel this years Region 1 contest. Several factors go into this decision:

• VT stay at home order in place at least through May 15th. Even if lifted to schedule it will be some time thereafter before “gatherings” are either wise or acceptable;
• SSA contest committee advising currently earliest that any contests will now retain or receive sanctioning will be sometime in July;
• Understandably we have very few sign-ups thus far and are nowhere near the numbers required for break-even. As with all clubs NESA is taking a financial hit from COVID-19. This is not the year for us to move forward “at risk” financially with a contest that may or may not even be able to happen.

Thank you all for understanding.
