Upcoming York Train Show - April 24-25, 2020
From the President, Dan Danielson
The Eastern Division Call Center is receiving calls from our members expressing concerns over the Corona Virus and asking the question: will we cancel the April York Train Show? Please be assured I am monitoring the status of the virus, along with the York County Convention Visitors Bureau and the York Expo Fairgrounds.
The Board of Directors will meet and make a decision no later than the first week of April and the decision will be posted on the website.
I spoke with my Primary Care Physician regarding the virus and he indicated it is similar to the flu making it primarily a cold weather virus.
As we look forward to spring, I'm looking forward to April warming up by the 24th.
In my opinion, the Eastern Div. leadership really needs to make a decision much sooner than the first week of April. A good number of members travel some distance to attend the meet and have made travel and other arrangements well in advance. Furthermore, in light of current developments on the national and world scene, many would-be participants now have a whole lot of other matters to consider and attend to that have little or nothing to do with the train meet. Anyone who follows the news knows that many events and activities scheduled well beyond the York Meet dates have already been canceled. Things on the national scene are not at all likely to change overnight, or even in the near future, so in fairness to all who have a whole lot more to deal with now, a firm decision sooner rather than later would certainly be helpful.
