Beginning with last year's MR8 the annual Mountain Run became a ZR-1 Net Registry event for members. There is no fee to register for the Mountain Run but one must be a member.

Will this policy be in effect for "The Gathering"?

Afternoon Doug,

Since NCM no longer sponsors The Gathering as of 2022, we have to rely on the ZR-1 Net Registry website for Gathering registration. Even if we have a "no cost" event, but have a need for a headcount for planning, we'd have to use our website for registration. This will be the case of Gathering 2023; details will follow shortly as we work through a few more logistics.

We expect that some offerings that are part of Gathering 2023 will be free, while others will have a charge; we'll know more shortly on this differentiation and will post accordinagly when the information is available.

Finally and re insuarance, as Gunny and Mark noted in previous posts, liability for group events, whether they are on-track events or otherwise, has become more of an issue in recent years. It is much more practicle for a club to secure such insurance than for an individual or a small group of individuals. Our Registry has such insurance and as long as event participants are Registry members, all are covered. It is largely for this reason that the MRs became Registry-sponsored events per se, and it's why participants needed to be Registry members.

So, will people need to be Registry members to particpate in Gathering 2023? While details are still being sorted out for this event, it's likely that the isurance consideration will play into this calculation, and it's likely that folks would need to be members to participate for the reasons noted - a more definitive answer will follow. That said and as Mark noted, ZR-1 Net Registry membership reamins one of the greatest deals on the planet, so we trust that anyone that would have to purchase a 2023 membership to particpate in Gathering 2023 would find it a great investement.

I hope this helps fellow members with similar questions.

Thanks,

Bob Lambe
