The committee for the 45th National Narrow Gauge Convention is keeping a close eye on the COVID-19 question and how it impacts our event.
Our Safety and Security Coordinator spent 35 years in fire service and emergency management. We are anticipating full access for all our guests to venues without the use of masks, requirements for testing, proof of vaccination or any other restrictions. Because mask requirements are still in flux and vaccination questions are still with us, we ask that each person attending the convention be prepared with a mask at all times and carry proof of their vaccination status if you have received the injection(s).
Requirements for masks on some public transportation and all medical facilities are still in place at this time. Of course, layout owners may choose to require masks and/or proof of vaccine when you visit their homes. Please respect their choices and be prepared to comply. And as always, you can choose to wear a mask even if one is not required.
Additionally, convention volunteers will be briefed on fire evacuation, earthquake procedures and active shooter. The Committee cares deeply about your safety and comfort and will update the FAQ if there are changes as we get closer to the event.
