CANCELLING OF 2020 EUROPEAN MASTERS CHAMPIONSHIPS

Dear National Masters Chair,

The European Masters Committee held a ZOOM meeting yesterday to make the final decision regarding the organization and running of the 2020 EUROPEAN MASTERS & INTERNATIONAL MASTERS OPEN' in Den Helder - The Netherlands from 28 November to 5 December 2020.

Very regrettably the committee had to decide to postpone the 2020 European Masters Championships in Den Helder to new dates: 21 - 28 August 2021, IF the PANDEMIC condition allows us.

Based on the latest news the Netherlands have been given the red flags and are now in the WHO C-GROUP.

For too many European + International nations a 2 week quarantine + several COVID tests are imposed on each person returning from the Netherlands.

We, like the rest of the world, hoped that the Pandemic will be more under control and restrictions ease up per each nation by the end of this summer.

This is not happening. From the Dutch organizer's side volunteers are withdrawing by the day because they don't feel safe yet.

The European Masters Committee therefore decided to concentrate on building and running an 'ONLINE 2020 EUROPEAN MASTERS VIRTUAL WEIGHTLIFTING CHAMPIONSHIP' until the end of this year, probably similar dates of the original dates (detailed information of rules and regulations, dates etc.. will be sent out and published very soon).

In order to have a correct organized Online Virtual competition, unfortunatley we have to start from the beginning. New registration, new payment. Old and new cannot be mixed up, it creates too much confusion and more work.

The 2020 European Masters & International Masters registration are now cancelled and all the entry fee payments received will be returned with 10% less admininstration fee to cover all costs the European Masters had.

The European Masters Committee thank you for your understanding and cooperation. It has been a very challanging year and with your help we are only trying to do our best for the love of our sport.

Together we will get through this.

Best wishes,

Denise Offermann
