No IMOC Rally this year. Here's why:
While the Hamilton Rod & Gun Club will be up and running, there are a few open issues that have yet to be defined. And since there's about 6 months required for preplanning and promotion, I unfortunately can't/couldn't commit.
-The Gun Club indicated that "there are going to changes." But they can't say what they are yet.
-When I asked..."will the food service be fully up and running?" the answer was "we're not sure." I can't run the risk of ending up without food and having to make an 11th-hour arrangement.
-Likewise with the bathrooms...same question, same answer. I'm not going to get in the position of being told to bring in Porta-Johns at the 11th hour.
-Rally pins come from China. That's obviously a long-leadtime item.
The Gun Club has been quite sincere and cooperative, but they just didn't know themselves what the protocol was going to be. So I was forced to pass on 2021.
