Salutations !

Hoping you feel better. I'm not going either, not because of the virus but because I don't care to give HMGS $35 bucks just to walk in.

This Chinese Flu is not the Spanish flu or the Krippin virus or the cause of the walking dead, but it is serious for us older people so good to avoid large crowds for a while. Certainly a harsh way for the communist leaders to turn attention away from the civil rights actions in Hong Kong

Wise to take precautions. My current role requires working with people in vulnerable groups so extra cautious here.
So far no cases in my locality here in Norfolk England. Only a matter of time I am sure.

Over the years, we have done our best to be loyal to this principle. With our incredible staff, volunteers, organizers, and instructors, AdeptiCon has been proud to host our annual hobby celebration with a continued emphasis on creating an amazing experience for our attendees. It is with that priority in mind that we have decided, after many hours of internal conversation and consultation with the venue, hotels, and various local authorities, that the health and well-being of our attendees and the public must come first. While we continued planning and did everything in our power to see AdeptiCon run as normal, we are now following both government guidance and our own judgement concerning the COVID-19 virus in cancelling the 2020 convention scheduled for March 25th-29th. We understand that this will impact all of you. It also impacts our exhibitors, staff, the venue, and the local community. It is not a decision we have made lightly; it is a decision based entirely on keeping people safe and healthy. It goes without saying that no one is more heartbroken about this situation than the AdeptiCon team. We look forward to seeing all of you every year, sharing our love of the hobby and revisiting friendships cultivated over years of the convention. The AdeptiCon staff is already vigorously working on details around issuing requests for credits/refunds, the handling of prepaid merchandise, badge upgrades and other related items. We will provide to our attendees and exhibitors final plans to address the unprecedented circumstances that the COVID-19 virus has thrust upon us by April 15th or sooner. Your patience is appreciated during this time as we finalize the necessary details and logistics. It is important to understand that the AdeptiCon team remains committed to this event. With your help, we will be able to return to providing you with the greatest tabletop gaming event experience around. We are very determined to see AdeptiCon return, thrive, and run long into the future. And we will remain focused, as always, on our most important priority, the attendees. Sincerely, AdeptiCon Staff “For Gamers, By Gamers” Addendum: There is no need to contact us requesting a refund or credit. We will contact all attendees with several options once we work out the details.

Opposite of what I’ve seen from Cold Wars.
