Oringen 2021 - Covid 19

We are now seven months from the competition, and Covid situation in Sweden, or anywhere really, is not too good. Vaccine programs are starting, but it is clear that the pandemic will not be over in summer 2021. How are you going to organise Oringen 2021, so that you are _allowed_ to make it happen, to begin with? Then consider the possible travel restrictions between Sweden, and in my case, Finland. Could you somehow influence the ferry operators, to offer safe transportation to a large number of Finns wanting to participate in Oringen?

  • Hi Markku,

    we have full understanding for your concerns. We don't have all answers at the moment but have a good hope to be able to organize O-Ringen in Uppsala 2021. Unfortunately we can't say for sure yet, we probably won't have the full situation of the pandemic until maybe in April. The Swedish authorities have good hope of haveing all adults vaccined before summer (maybe even some months before). We can however not organize safe travels to and from O-Ringen, that is up to the ferry / train /flight operators to ensure but the vaccin will help a lot with that.

    We are constantly updated on regulations but for now and some months ahead lets just hope the vaccines are being delivered as planned!

    Happy new years!
  • Hi,
    one month later,vaccines not delivered as planned, or rather hoped. Are you still waiting until April, to declare what seems already obvious?

    If you cancel this year, will next year 2022 still be Uppsala?


  • Hello Markku,

    We will try to take a decision as late as possible to wait for a hopefully positive development in general society with lower risk and spread of infection, successful vaccination et cetera. But a decision must obviously be taken within a reasonable time frame so by early May we will probably know if O-Ringen Uppsala 2021 can be held or not.

    If we need to cancel O-Ringen 2021 it will be held in Uppsala 2022.

    Please don´t hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions!

    Kind regards,
    Anna

  • Hello,
    Any suggestion about the deadline when you decide about O-ringen 2021?

    Thanks

  • Above - we had two winners in our club
    Please delay to 2022: It is looking very likely that I won't be able to attend - UK overseas travel leisure travel is forbidden until certainly 17th June and even if Sweden and UK permit international travel after - things will be not back to normal. Now, being selfish, 2022 will be perfect for me - 42 years since my first O-ringen (also in Uppsala) and the 75th Anniversary for SAAB motors (I got my first ride in a SAAB - a lift to stage 1 - in 1980) and I will be retired and so can spend the whole summer in Sweden driving my 99 Turbo. Below - that's me in 17th
  • Hello David,

    thank you for the nice pictures and the nice story about your previous O-Ringen. Hopefully we get to see you this summer! We will make a decision during May if we can arrange an O-Ringen or not.

    Kind regards,
    Anna
