At the January Board meeting, the BR Board of Directors voted to remove our vaccination requirement for main BR events. Currently, that means events held at The Crucible, which is Tuesday classes, Gateway, and socials. This brings us into alignment with The Crucible’s own vaccination policy.

Coordinators of SIGs and other event teams (e.g. Charmed!) can continue making their own choices, so check the specific event for its requirements.

We will be updating event descriptions on Fetlife and our website as time allows, and new events will not include a vaccination requirement.

Due to inclement weather in the Washington area on January 16, all Black Rose events are cancelled. Please stay safe.
