The Summer 2020 NABC held in Montreal is officially cancelled. Many of us saw this coming, but we were holding on to hope that the public health situation was improving. However, even with 3 months to go, the Quebec government has issued a directive closing all large gatherings and events through August 31st.
How About GNT and NAP?
This is especially disappointing for District 24, given that we had near record levels of interest for all flights of GNT (and NAP from last Fall). It is very possible these events will be entirely cancelled for 2020. Originally, ACBL moved NAP from Spring to Summer, and GNT from Summer to Fall. If we shift everything again, then GNT will overlap the following year’s normal NAP. Perhaps it’s easier just to call it off and do a full reset?
