I
have booked five rooms in these hotels as described. They are
assigned to the rider/players who have currently paid their deposits
(BGBoy, Biddle of the Board, The Newbie, LenLenLen and Christian**).
Please
note the following
* I
will assume you each are taking these rooms and accept responsibility
for payment for them - unless I hear from you before April 1st when I
can still cancel your booking.
*
There is no obligation to stay in the hotel that others are staying
in. Feel free to book a place of your own nearby. Bear in
mind, however, that these places may be the centres for backgammon
play and eating and drinking. But they may not be.
*
Players enrolling from this point are responsible for
their own room bookings.
* Anyone who wishes to, can bolt for home on
Sunday evening - but the final night celebration is part of the
ethos.
* Please arrive at The White Rabbit on Thursday evening at 5.30 pm for
6.00. (Anyone making jokes about pulling things out of hats stands a
round.)
* I
have the routes planned and will be leading the rides.
*
If you're still considering whether to join us, please let me know ASAP. B.o.t.B. needs to know numbers to concoct a playing regime.
* To commit, pay £50.00 deposit (email me for details) and then confirm to me that you have.

Also, know this: when your time comes, you will want to tell those gathered at your bedside that, yes, you were a
BikeGammoner and life has been good!
**
It is now traditional for BikeGammon players to be assigned a nickname by
the organiser. Christian, I think I've decided your name is
exotic enough as it stands. It conjures up Pilgrim's Progress. This is apt. Len, I reserve the right to amend
yours.
