Neta trials

It is with a heavy heart that I write this today. After many months of uncertainty, the NETA season for will have to be postponed altogether. When this COVID issue surfaced back in the month of March, we were all hopeful for a chance for at least a partial season to be able to take place later on in the season, but now as we enter the month of August some 6 months later, it has remained evident that there are simply too many unanswerable questions to allow us to hold any NETA sanctioned events in With so much uncertainty as to where our government regulations and limitations are currently standing, as well as where they might end up in the near future, it is simply not worth the potential risk for liability should any future cases emerge as a result of potential exposure at a NETA sanctioned event.

To be sure, any future litigations that could emerge would be directed at the NETA Board, and this is a risk that I do not want to see us take. With the recent announcement of the NATC to cancel the Nationals we are also making the same choice, and with our fingers crossed for better circumstances to prevail for With all the goings-on surrounding the Covid pandemic, it is time for an update in regards to how it is affecting our proposed NETA schedule for the season.

Sadly the various limitations that have been set in place in response to the spread of the virus have clearly prevented us from implementing the schedule as written thus far.

Even worse there have been extensions to many of these on a state to state basis, and at this point, the state of Rhode Island has banned the gathering of any large groups of people until the end of the summer at least, and Connecticut still has similar limitations at this time, as well as Massachusetts, New York, New Hampshire, and Maine. To be clear, we are NOT intending to cancel the entire season and will be looking ahead to the time when or more people will be allowed to gather in one location before reinstating the schedule as currently written.

There will be every effort made to provide at least a day notice to all involved when the time comes for the next event to be held. Some of the Trialsmasters have been discussing alternate dates for the events that have been canceled with the following proposals thus far :. This leaves us with the option of having whatever events we can squeeze in on a week to week basis, and at least we can start to get our NETA Family back together again after such a long and unfortunate delay.

Another option here would be to waive all membership fees for the season and roll any existing memberships forward from to We will reconvene on this in the near future and report back again on this and any other updates at the same time. Although these times have brought on many unprecedented difficulties, I am very confident that the strong bond of the NETA Family will shine through when the time has finally arrived for our events schedule to resume!

As always, anyone with any questions or concerns is always welcome to reach out to me directly, and I will always be ready to do my best to help in any way possible. It is with a sad heart that I must announce the postponement of all NETA Trials events until further notice , due to the strict limitations now imposed on the number of people allowed to gather in one location at any given time.

We will monitor this as closely as possible, and work with day intervals to try to allow for events to be held as soon as the state to state limitations will allow them. We plan to make a decision approximately 30 days prior to May 3rd. Please check back for updates. In the meantime, I would like to encourage everyone in our NETA family to stay calm, stay safe, and please try to be there to help any members of our local communities as needed.

We are all in this together, and together we will work to help bring the situation under control as soon as possible.
