Keith from the Free China Hash here. Wanted to update
you on progress with planning next year's China Nash
Hash.

1) Dates will be 21-21 April 2006 (unless you tell me
of some hugely conflicting events at that time.)

2) Our plan is to offer:
a) a Friday late afternoon welcome hash for RMB 50 on
21 April 2006. There will be a welcome bash (dinner)
for those doing the run as well as all participants in
Guilin that evening.
b) 2-day deluxe hash package with hotels, bus
transport, 2 runs, 2 circles, 3 bashes (meals), and
souvenirs, or 2-day hash package without hotels, but
including the rest

c) on Saturday, will offer choice of short (45 min),
medium (60 min.), long (90 min) or X-long (120 min)
for FRBs hash runs with individual circles. Each run
will be limited to 250 people based upon time of sign
up. All runs take place in Yangshuo County Guilin and
all will regroup for a huge bash (dinner) at a
nightmarket in Yangshuo Town.

d) on Sunday late morning there will be a recovery
hash run with short (40 min) and long (65 min options)
in Yangshuo followed by a meal. We will also provide
transport back to the airport that afternoon for those
desiring it.

All runs will be live hared and follow marking
conventions of the Taipei Hash, China Hash, Free China
Hash, Boxer Hash and Taiping Hash. These conventions
chosen because they are very simple.

Expect to finalize pricing an begin sign ups around
15 July. Discounts for early bird sign ups with the
price increasing by year end.

We will be looking for hashes to volunteer to help
with running some of the circles and co-haring some of
the runs. Interested parties can email me at
keith@.... You can also reply to this
email.
