Weāre thinking of doing the same. We havenāt cancelled our hotel reservation, yet. Weāll see how things go. I just got back a week ago from a trip across the country and back, so a trip across the state probably wonāt worry us much.
I totally get why the meeting is cancelled. Not enough participants.
This was going to be our first time. We are always looking for a getaway to a beautiful resort so unless itās really bad we will be there with masks onā¦ hope to meet some of you.
I chatted with Dennis Haber and he and Jill are planning on being at the Omni for Migration Plan B as will Joyce and I. As mentioned before the Hotel is honoring the COPA rate and waving the resort fee. Iām not sure if this is true if you cancel and re-book, best check if you are a maybe. As we get closer to the date Dennis and I will broadcast some ideas. We talked about opening cocktails and a group (socially distanced) dinner and some other fun and potentially educational stuff. Its a beautiful place particularly in October with lots to do so we donāt need to over organize. If your thinking of going post on this thread with the others who have indicated they are coming so we can have an idea of the kind of things to put together. We will get serious around the first of September.

Iām very certainly planning on visiting Amelia Island that weekend. Some of the best relationships Iāve formed with people I truly admire have been with members of this community. I personally feel comfortable those of us who independently choose to do so can get together safely - albeit not in any way under the COPA organization umbrella which we all understand.
As a side note, I believe it was in the organizationās best interest to cancel the formal group sanctioned event and appreciate all the work and discussions that went into the planning and decision to scrub.
Brad:
Agree with your comments regarding COPA organization decision. This get together would be an independent voluntary gathering of Cirrus Pilot.
