The last Sunday before Advent is the traditional date for the members' meeting of Ballspielverein Borussia 09 e.V. – but on 22 November 2020, the Westfalenhalle will remain empty. The club members are not able to meet due to the corona pandemic.

"With around 16,000 BVB members, there is unfortunately also no technical way to hold such an event virtually in a reasonable way," explained BVB president Dr. Reinhard Rauball to the members' magazine (October edition, published on 10/10/20). He added: "I personally really regret this, as direct communication with you, our members, is very important to us. Once it becomes clear when we can properly make up for the meeting, we'll inform you in good time." (br)
