Subject: Bibione
Flyer 1 (2 Feb'98) was the general programme (less prices). Ask if you want it
again.
Flyer 2 went out to Milan only, with mistakes (Wine tasting and Buttrio
dates).
The Registration Flyer will come separately to save you editing out the trash
before you reply (more truthfully to save us editing out the trash in order to
hard copy when you forget). As places are restricted to 100 and there is a lot
of "outside" interest this flyer is going out to Milan and regular friends only
until next week. You should therefore decide ASAP and reply with the info
required. Please wait for the Reg form.
REGISTRATION AND PAYMENT
Price
Total price depends on type of accommodation. Single, double or three or
more persons sharing.

Bibione and Butrio fun runs, Full champagne breakfast on Saturday,
Barbecue meal after hash on Saturday, and unlimited hash wine and beer
for the weekend.
Price does not include transport, drinks or food in the Marquee or any
other meals. When we are away from Bibione cheap fixed price meals will be
arranged as shown in the programme below. Book these on your
registration form and you pay your share after the meal.
Booking
Just fill in the registration form (to follow) and send it back to the
RMBH3 committee members shown. If you register by E Mail you should
get a confirmation within 2 working days. Any other method you will get a
standard confirmation about 2 weeks before the hash.
Payment
Money is collected by Hash Cash at breakfast on Saturday. No deposits and
no price increase for delays (what exactly do other hashes do with all
that extra money??). We trust you to be responsible. There are limited
places so please cancel your booking if you aren't coming. Bookings not
cancelled by two weeks before are assumed confirmed and we may ask you to
cough up for your accommodation, if we can't fill it from the waiting list
and we are not able to get out of paying for it.
LIMITED NUMBERS!!!
===============
Numbers are limited to 100, first come first serve, so book early. Use
the form because verbal bookings to RMBH3 committee are usually forgotten
when the next beer is consumed (i.e. immediately).
NB All hashers running with RMBH3 do so at their own risk. We are not
responsible for accidents, travel arrangments or any other misfortunes that
may arise. In fact we are all totally irresponsible and we are CERTAINLY
not insured!
HOW TO GET THERE / JOINING INSTRUCTIONS
Bibione
Car
Take the motorway to Venice. At the Venice paytoll follow signs to Trieste.
DO NOT take the first sign for Bibione as this is a slow road. It is better
to turn off at the sign for LATISANA. After the paytoll go right towards
Latisana. Go through Latisana and follow signs to Bibione. There is only
one junction where you do not go straight, and this is a left turn, clearly
marked for Bibione. You should reach Bibione less than an hour after the
Venice paytoll, in reasonable traffic. When you arrive at Bibione there are
two roundabouts. You should always go straight, following Corso del Sole,
until you reach Piazzale Zenith, a big Piazza on the sea-front. On
Wednesday evening the hash will meet in the Marquee in Piazzale Zenith for
key collection. We are staying in the Marina Grande apartments along the
sea-front about 300 metres from Piazzale Zenith. This is a big grey block
with garage spaces underneath and surrounded by a fenced garden opening
onto Via Lira. The entrance for cars is off Via Venere which is the road
parallel to the coast before Piazzale Zenith. See the Map. Arrivals after
Wednesday evening (except for arrivals at Butrio, see below) should go to
the Marina Grande. We will leave contact details and messages on a notice
board by the lift nearest the sea in the Marina Grande.
Train
There are trains from Venice to Latisana. We can organise lifts from
Latisana to Bibione and we may be able to organise lifts from Milan or
Venice airport if we have lots of prior notice.
Buttrio (You need a car)
Arrivals on Friday (1 May'98) morning who want to run in Butrio should go
straight to Butrio. NB; the run starts 9.00 am sharp. If you want to join
after the run in Butrio go to the finish, which is in the Piazza up the
hill where the wine festival stands are. Hashers should be finishing
between ten and eleven am. To get to Butrio continue on the motorway to
Trieste, past the Latisana exit, and take the motorway for Udine. Find
Butrio on the map to the East of the motorway. There is an exit just before
Udine. Follow signs right to the centre of Butrio and park where you can.
Then just follow the noise! We will wait at the start until 9.00 am.
Accommodation
All accommodation is in good quality self catering flats. Mono (one room)
flats have two beds, Bi (two rooms) have 3/4 beds, Tri (three rooms) have 5/6
beds. On your application please just say if you want to share and with whom
(if you have a preference). We will allocate everyone the best accommodation
we can NO CHANGES ALLOWED. (Changes will only be allowed on
presentation of authorisation in triplicate signed by Gus Mckey) Couples
and families get preference. You will pay the lower of what you requested
and what you get. Flats are fully equipped except for sheets,
pillow-cases and towels and toilet paper. They have no heating because its
usually hot. If the forecast is for cold weather, you might want to
bring extra blankets etc. Alternatively you can trust the RA, he's never
failed yet, so don't forget your swimming costume!

by the distance, its not hard, and the trail has food and wine
stops, music, hills vineyards and forest. Its worth it!) Your
registration fee for the hash includes registration for this run.
At the end you receive a souvenir of Butrio. The Hash is normally
presented with wine and goodies because we are a big group and we
come from so far away. (Malaysia of course! Don't forget it!) And we

again be an International fun run at Bibione. Runs of 7, 14, 28
and 42 km with 6-7000 participants, marching bands wine and food
stops by the sea. The hash usually does the 14 km which is a lovely
run through the sand dunes and pine forests. The Hash from Malaysia
has become very much part of the scene and the organisers expect us
to be there in force, dressed in traditional costume and making
plenty of noise. So bring out you Hash Horns, R.A. s in
ceremonial gear please, and ALL RMBH3 Pith Helmets on show at the
same time for once!!!
11.00 am. Prize giving in the Marquee. Prizes go to the biggest and
noisiest groups from farthest away, so of course the hash wins
on all counts! This is the last item on our agenda and a last chance
to represent Malaysia on stage. See RA Fabulous give a
down-down to the Mayor and Corporation of Bibione while he thanks
them in fluent Malay!. We will try to get all 100 hashers on stage
for a last rousing chorus of "Swing Low" to an audience of
thousands, so be there!!
