Message #4 to Members - 2020 Europeans POSTPONED

The 2020 Optimist European Championship is scheduled to take place June 22nd to 29^th in Tallinn, Estonia.

IODA has been monitoring the COVID -19 issue closely as it affects our upcoming IODA events in June and July.

The Organizers of the 2020 Optimist European Championship, with the support of IODA, have made the decision to postpone the event. The Organizers will be discussing the postponement with their stakeholders and suppliers and report back to IODA as soon as possible.

IODA and the Organizers will be meeting again in early April, if not sooner, to determine if the event can be rescheduled in 2020, and if so, confirm the new dates of the 2020 European Championship. 

As a result of the postponement, the Organizers have agreed to extend the 2^nd Entry Stage Deadline to April 30^th.  The NOR will be amended accordingly.

IODA will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation globally and will keep our Members informed of any developments or decisions at our earliest opportunity with respect to our 2020 IODA events.
