CARDIFF PRE-LUBE BUS TOUR
OF ENGLAND AND IRELAND
JULY 12 - JULY 22, 2004
The Erin Go "Bragh-less" Hash Tour!!
Registration is now starting for the TRIP OF A LIFETIME! This is a
group tour personally designed for those hashers who will be
attending the World Interhash this July in Cardiff, Wales. This bus
tour is a 10 night, 11 day exciting vacation, culminating in Cardiff
for the big hash event. This itinerary is for those hashers
interested in taking the time to sightsee and visit many of the most
interesting landmarks of England, and Ireland, as well as hash. The
entire bus would be hashers, so you know that we will have fun. There
will be no worries, cause all of the planning, transportation, and
accommodations are taken care of for you. All breakfasts and half of
your dinners are included as well! This company plans high energy and
active tours, which always include trips to local pubs and hot
nightspots. We will be in Dublin during the Paddywhacks Hash Weekend
as well! The tour price will depend on the total number of hashers
who book, averaging about $1300 per person. The minimum number of
hashers would be 25, and the maximum would be 49 for the tour.
Secure your spot by putting down a $200 deposit. Once 25 deposits
have been received, they will be sent to the tour operator. Since
over 4000 hashers have already registered for Cardiff, I think that
this tour will fill up quickly. I have included the itinerary and the
registration information. So, if you are interested, don't delay,
because there are only a limited number of spots available. Deposits
are due by February 19th, 2004. Scroll down for a registration
form. For more information,
