Incoming Broadwave from the Cortex The members of the Browncoat Ball Steering Committee have discussed the current situation and have agreed that we should delay the Browncoat Ball until next year. While we certainly hope that restrictions on travel and gatherings will be lifted by September, the uncertainty of the current economic climate means that traveling for fancy weekend vacations is likely to be low on people’s financial priority list this year. Therefore we are skipping 2020 and moving on to 2021. The 2021 event will still be held in Massachusetts with a visit to Salem. We are working with the hotel to establish new dates, and will announce them here. If you already reserved a room for the 2020 event, those reservations have been cancelled without penalty by the hotel. You do not need to do anything. If you already made travel arrangements that cannot be refunded, let us know! If you’re going to be in Salem anyway, we can set up a mini-shindig with the locals and go have some fun. We are sorry to have to do this but the present and former organizers all believe it’s the right thing to do.

The New England Browncoats invite you to the Browncoat Ball in Salem & Wakefield Massachusetts, where we aim to misbehave! Join us for Browncoat Ball 2020 on the weekend of September 11-13 at the beautiful Four Points Sheraton in Wakefield, MA. An incredible weekend of entertainment awaits you at this finest of shindigs with Browncoats from all around the ’Verse!

The weekend will kick off with a Friday evening get-together – a great tradition where you will meet Browncoats from the local moons to the outer planets of the rim!

On Saturday we will travel from our hotel to historic Salem, Massachusetts. You’ll have an opportunity to learn about the famous witch trials of 1692, visit the Peabody Essex Museum and learn about Salem’s maritime history, take a walking tour of the sights, or simply enjoy Salem’s unique shops and entertainments.

Bring your slinky dress and tight pants for Saturday evening’s Ball! There will be a sumptuous dinner, ballroom dancing, music, entertainment, and shiny surprises.

For those ready to make plans, we’ve arranged a special Browncoat Ball room rate! To reserve your room at the Four Points by Sheraton Wakefield Hotel, please use this button: Book Room!

Check back soon – we will have Browncoat Ball 2020 ticket sales up and running here within a few weeks!
