great sadness that I must announce the 2026 VTR National Convention has been cancelled. Despite the tremendous effort of the South Texas Triumph Association (STTA) to overcome the natural disaster in Kerrville, and the heroic efforts of Drew Holliday and others to find an alternate location, we were unable to put together a viable convention.</div><div> </div><div>Here's what happened over the last two weeks: Kerrville experienced horrendous rains, as much as 25 inches, over a very short period. Even though the host hotel was not near the river, four of its seven buildings sustained significant damage from rainwater incursion. This greatly reduced the hotel's capacity to host an event like ours. Given the damage, and the remote location that makes Kerrville so quaint in the first place, there were no viable alternatives nearby.</div><div> </div><div>The STTA informed your VTR Board last Thursday of the situation and recommended the event be cancelled. Drew Holliday, of the Central Oklahoma Vintage Triumph Register (COVTR), asked me and a few others in the South Central Region who've helped run past Regional and National events in Texas for a few days to see if we could put together a coalition to "rescue" the event. Over the past few days, we explored several locations and dates, but facility availability and room costs made it impossible to work out. The Board met Wednesday evening and voted to close the matter.</div><div> </div><div>The host hotel (YO Ranch) has already begun contacting those who registered to let them know their reservations have been cancelled. If you haven't heard from them yet, you can reach them at <a href="tel:(830)%20327-4558" value="+18303274558" target="_blank">(830) 327-4558</a>.</div><div> </div><div>The STTA has also begun reaching out to registrants to refund their money. If you haven't heard from them by August 7, please contact David Cochran at <a href="tel:(210)%20414-9570" value="+12104149570" target="_blank">(210) 414-9570</a>.<br> </div><div>Dave Pilcher, VTR President</div></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div></div></div></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="margin:0px auto;max-width:600px;overflow:hidden;background:transparent;color:#333333"><table role="presentation" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-size:0px;width:100%;background:transparent;color:#333333" align="center" border="0"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align:center;vertical-align:middle;direction:ltr;font-size:0px;padding:8px 0px 24px 0px"><div style="display:block;margin:0"><div class="m_-6613289432956225375mj-column-per-100" style="display:inline-block;direction:ltr;font-size:13px;text-align:left;width:100%"><div class="m_-6613289432956225375mj-column-padding--top-0 m_-6613289432956225375mj-column-padding--bottom-0 m_-6613289432956225375mj-column-padding--left-0 m_-6613289432956225375mj-column-padding--right-0"><div><table role="presentation" style="color:inherit;table-layout:fixed;max-width:100%;width:100%" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tbody><tr><td style="word-wrap:break-word;font-size:0px;padding:0px" align="center"><p style="font-size:1px;margin:0;border-top:1px solid #d7d7d7;width:300px;max-width:100%"></p></td></tr></tbody></table></div></div></div></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="margin:0px auto;max-width:600px;overflow:hidden;background:transparent;color:#333333"><table role="presentation" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-size:0px;width:100%;background:transparent;color:#333333" align="center" border="0"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align:center;vertical-align:top;direction:ltr;font-size:0px;padding:0px"><div style="display:block;margin:0"><div class="m_-6613289432956225375mj-column-per-100" style="vertical-align:top;display:inline-block;direction:ltr;font-size:13px;text-align:left;width:100%"><div class="m_-6613289432956225375mj-column-padding--top-0 m_-6613289432956225375mj-column-padding--bottom-0 m_-6613289432956225375mj-column-padding--left-0 m_-6613289432956225375mj-column-padding--right-0"><div style="overflow:hidden"><table role="presentation" style="color:inherit;vertical-align:top;table-layout:fixed;max-width:100%;width:100%" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tbody><tr><td style="word-wrap:break-word;font-size:0px;padding:2px 10px 0px 35px" align="left"><div style="color:#333333;font-family:Franklin Gothic,franklin gothic,itc franklin gothic,arial,sans-serif;font-size:20px;font-weight:600;line-height:1.2999999999999996;letter-spacing:0px;text-align:left;text-transform:none"><div>Action Needed: 2026-2027 Insurance Worksheet –</div><div><strong>Please Report in with Contact Info</strong></div></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div></div></div></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="margin:0px auto;max-width:600px;overflow:hidden;background:transparent;color:#333333"><table role="presentation" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-size:0px;width:100%;background:transparent;color:#333333" align="center" border="0"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align:center;vertical-align:top;direction:ltr;font-size:0px;padding:0px"><div style="display:block;margin:0"><div class="m_-6613289432956225375mj-column-per-100" style="vertical-align:top;display:inline-block;direction:ltr;font-size:13px;text-align:left;width:100%"><div class="m_-6613289432956225375mj-column-padding--top-0 m_-6613289432956225375mj-column-padding--bottom-0 m_-6613289432956225375mj-column-padding--left-0 m_-6613289432956225375mj-column-padding--right-0"><div style="overflow:hidden"><table role="presentation" style="color:inherit;vertical-align:top;table-layout:fixed;max-width:100%;width:100%" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tbody><tr><td style="word-wrap:break-word;font-size:0px;padding:20px 50px 25px 50px" align="left"><div style="color:#333333;font-family:Franklin Gothic,franklin gothic,itc franklin gothic,arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:400;line-height:1.4999999999999998;letter-spacing:0px;text-align:left;text-transform:none"><div>The 2026-2027 annual insurance worksheet is coming soon, and we need an updated way to reach your chapter.</div><div> </div><div>Starting now, all insurance worksheets and Certificate of Insurance requests will be handled by VP of Chapter Services Wayne Simpson.
