Subject: Ski-Hash '98
For MILAN hashers not in the know, first a word from Robin "Tonedeaf" Duff:-
Leman H3 are the organisers of the Argentierre Ski-Hash Weekend, Milan H3
traditionally set the Hash Run (not on skis) and support Leman whenever we
can e.g. answer queries and take Milan bookings and payments. Cross-country
skiing is possible in the village where we stay if there is sufficient snow
(not for the last 2 years however).
Hotels Couronne and Dahu are beside each other and have full facilities.
Hotel Carrier is cheaper because most rooms do not have private showers
although showering facilites are available I believe. ATC is self contained
and is cheaper to compensate for it being 1km from the Hotel Couronne where
the Registration and Saturday night dinner is.
Hotels will fill up first come first served (my thinking is people will
request Couronne / Dahu, ATC....then Carrier) so it is important to book
accommodation as soon as possible. You can book and pay direct (Milan H3
doesn't need to know unless you are looking for / offering to give, a lift
in a car to get there) ...... OR you can book and pay through Milan
Mis-management as follows :-
BOOKING VERBALLY to Tonedeaf is NOT a good idea as I don't remember anything
after a Hash ... believe me. Verbally to Robin is marginally better and if
you have no other way it MUST be to 0321-510452 Work (booze is less of a
distraction there).
BOOK by FAX to Robin "Tonedeaf" Duff 0321-94402 and I will copy Sarah (Milan
Hash Cash).
BOOKING by e-mail to Tonedeaf .... To: rmd@msoft.it ..........and copy Sarah
(Milan Hash Cash) Cc: sarahspittle@hotmail.com
If you "return" this e-mail, please cancel all the irrelevant bits to reduce
the size for easier reading / printing .... and in any case ..to prevent it
getting mislaid amongst the 70-odd routine e-mails I get each week type
under Subject: "SKI-" and your "NAME" or "HASHNAME".
Make sure you stipulate your hotel preference (not guaranteed), name each
person and the room type they wish to share. ALSO when you think to pay (see
next Paragragh).
PAYMENT via MILAN MIS-MANAGEMENT
You stay booked with the committment to pay Tonedeaf / Sarah (Hash Cash) in
Lira cash or cheque (we'll tell you whom to make it payable to when you hand
it over) up to the evening of the Milan Hash on Monday 12 Jan'98. I will
confirm bookings to Leman H3 on the morning of Tuesday 13 Jan'98. I cannot
speak for the availability of Hash Cash but my last Milan hash this year is
Monday 22 Dec'97 and the first on my return is Monday 12 Jan'98. If we are
not available then give it to any other Mis-Management who is willing and
e-mail us what you have done (as per bookings). Get in touch with Tonedeaf
(initially) if you have logistic problems and we'll sort something out.
