Safety Procedures in Place for Southeast British Car Festival

September 17-20, 2020

Dillard, Georgia is the place to be this September, so come prepared to have fun! We believe we can all have a great time and still remain safe, but it will take all of us doing our part.

We know that many of you have concerns about safety. We do too! We thought it might help you to know what steps are being taken to provide for the safety of everyone at this event. Here are just a few of the things being done to prepare for your arrival:

  1. The Dillard House has instituted enhanced cleaning protocols. All rooms are cleaned per CDC guidelines. Staff was trained specifically for COVID-19 requirements which adds an additional 15 minutes of cleaning per room. All chemicals used are on the CDC recommendation list. They log all cleaning procedures each day.
  2. All Dillard employees, including housekeepers, wear masks.
  3. Each hotel room has its own individual heat/air system.
  4. There will be temperature checks on all participants, social distancing floor pads and signs, masks for each registrant, and public bathrooms will be cleaned four times a day and logged.
  5. Hand Sanitizing Stations will be set-up in the main building, Conference Center, and on the field.
  6. Gift bags provided to registrants will include hand sanitizer and masks.
  7. Plans are being created in the Hospitality Suite to ensure social distancing. Foods will be individually wrapped.
  8. Although the Dillard House is well known for their “family style” meals, in the age of COVID-19 that is not a possibility. Meals will be served cafeteria style in the Conference Center with attendants serving food to each guest.
  9. Dillard House is having the Conference Center carpets, walls, and all air filters professionally cleaned just prior to our event.
  10. With advanced notice, the Dillard House will do its very best to make special accommodations for any attendee with a compromised immune system. Please call them at 800-541-0671 and make your needs known.
  11. Most of our events are held outdoors, where it is naturally much easier to social distance (the drive-in movie, the guided and self-guided driving tours, and the actual car show).
  12. We are paying special attention to mealtimes. Tents will be set up outside for overflow dining, to help spread us apart.

The Dillard family is very excited to host this event and are doing everything in their power to keep us safe. This summer they have already held a few very large events, with no illnesses reported. They are very proud of this fact and are determined to keep that great record.

So, is it safe to come? Ultimately, none of us can guarantee that, and only you can make the decision of whether this event is safe for you. But we believe that if we are all considerate of one another, wear our masks when appropriate, wash our hands frequently, and make sure we give each other sufficient space, we can simultaneously have a wonderful event and keep everyone safe. We are looking forward to seeing you in September! Early Registration ends on August 15 so register NOW!
