Treffen Belarus (GWCBY) in Brest is cancelled

Hello all,

The GWCBY committee took the decision to cancel the GWCBY treffen.

We were waiting for information about the opening of the borders within the EU. Untii this moment they are still closed, so it makes no sense to wait any longer.

Also the situation with the virus in Belarus is not good.

The committee decided not to ask for a weekend in 2021. We understand that it will be very hard for us to find a date as no one wants to share the weekend. Therefore our next treffen will be in 2022.

Best wishes,

Elena Zelezinskaya

Treffen Spain (GWAE) in Gandia is cancelled

Hello dear GoldWing friends,

The board of the Gold Wing Asociación de España has decided to cancel the treffen after the Spanish government has imposed a minimum of 15 days carantaine on us. We take this wise advice and can only ensure that this virus is quickly under control. What is of great importance now is our health and that of the entire population.

The GWAE plans to host the meeting next year (2021) at the same location (GANDIA) with the date planned on the GWEF calendar 2021. The board, the members and myself want to express our respect and compassion to those who have had to say goodbye to family, friends or acquaintances during these difficult times.

Be careful and stay healthy, and until better times.

Treffen Germany (GWFD) in Altdorf/Landshut is cancelled

With the Corona virus crisis in mind, the German government has decided that all larger events (especially those with a lot of people attending from foreign countries) have to be cancelled or postponed. Due to this the board of the GWFD was forced to cancel their International Treffen in 2020. Due to the full GWEF treffen calendar postponing to a later date is no option, also it is not clear when this restriction will be lifted.

These kind of measures are also already active in Luxembourg, and in Austria concerts with more than 100 people are not allowed at the moment. It is quite possible that other countries will follow, please be prepared.

We invite you to share this message over the social media such a Facebook, Twitter and Instagram so it gets spread as soon and as wide as possible.
