MCAA General Assembly (+ Drinks/meetup in Cork?)
Hi all,
- For those of you planning to attend the General Assembly in Zagreb - do you know if it will be cancelled/postponed due to Covid-19, and are you still planning to travel?
- On a completely different note, it would be great to organise a social meetup in Cork for MCAA Ireland people based down here - any interest?
All the best,
Barry

Hi Barry, GA will be cancelled but the board meeting might still happen. There is online board meeting today that I couldnt not attend but I will update everyone asap there is a decision.
I strong discurage everyone to make new bookings as of now.
Thnaks!
Can you confirm where you heard this or is it an assumption?
Thanks
Thanks Malachi and Sushil.
It's a shame the GA will be cancelled but not too surprising. Does anyone know if the MCAA travel grants will cover bookings already made?
Barry
IS the GA really cancelled in Croatia?? It's not written anywhere on the site - Thanks
@Malachi
This is the feeling from ongoing discussions among board memmbers and chairs. Just wait for a couple of days and there will be a final decision.
I was in touch with MCAA Vice Chair last night decision has been made based on the advice from the Croatian government. I am am afraid as Sushil indicated the event is cancelled. Detailed information will be posted on the MCAA website today.
Hey barry,
Thats a good idea for social meetup in Cork for MCAA Ireland
Tarun
I agree to meet up just with MCAA members in a relatively not crowded place.
Hi Berry, i'm from cork as well, would be interested to meet up for a pint.
Sana
Thanks Tarun, Yuqin and Sana for getting back. That's great that there is interest in this.
We should aim to organise something in Cork soon, although given the uncertainty around Covid-19 it's difficult to plan anything at the moment. I might wait for now and I'll create a new thread here on the MCAA Ireland Chapter to organise a Cork event, maybe in a month or two when things have (hopefully) settled down?
Barry
I agree, now the situation is not suitable for get together. We can organize it in the future,

Still fully intend to go! (Travelling from Dublin)
