2020 Southern SXS April 23-26

Cooler heads should prevail.

I'm going and will shoot at Drakes. If the Southern is cancelled it will have no effect on me other than the real possibility of saving me some money from not buying something I don't need anyway.

I understand that burning gunpowder is a good preventative

The Mainstream Media has given us plenty of reason to believe they will take a molehill and make it a mountain, and for once, there is a very real situation they simply can't overstate, no matter how they spin it. History shows that every major outbreak of a new virus (Look up Spanish Influenza) was met with naysayers. Those who are winging that this is overblown are whistling past the graveyard.
My sister is a retired MD, and still has weekly responsibilities at Georgetown. She says the concern, and outright fear of where this is going is very weighty on the entire medical staff.
A single individual, exposed, can impact as few as none, if they go straight home, or, unsuspectingly carrying out their normal day, cause both direct, and indirect contact with 20-200 people in 24 hours. it multiplies exponentially from there.

News . . . Such as it is

Given federal restrictions on travel from Europe and new North Carolina restrictions on outdoor events, it is with sadness that we announce the cancellation of this year’s Southern Side by Side Championship & Exhibition, which was scheduled for April 23-26, 2020.

The next Southern Side by Side Championship & Exhibition will be April 22-25, 2021. Although we have never had to cancel a show before, in the past when exhibitors have needed to bow out after committing we have “rolled over” their payments to the next show. Please allow us to roll over your 2020 payment to the 2021 show. We will be updating the web page with the new dates and you will have the entire year of exposure.

Thank you for your help in this troubled time. Stay well. -- Mary

This all is a real blow to everything. I can't speak for the board but it will be hard to hold the meeting with the Southern canceled.

That said, we can hopefully still go and shoot and maybe we'll have a mini Southern
