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 19^th, 2004.   Scroll down for a registration form.  For more information,
