BIBIONE #8 29 April to 2 May 1999
STOP PRESS! We are still waiting for the Bibione Accommodation Association
to declare that last year's prices will be repeated. Our Agency thinks this
will happen within a few days so cannot quote last year's prices until then.
That means we cannot either, but in view of time marching on we have decided
to put something out on the basis of last year and update you as soon as
possible. The main reason is that the Bibione Podisti Committee has decided
not to hold the Fun Run this year although a similar one will be staged just
along the road at nearby Lugugnana. There is no accommodation at Lugugnana
however and Bibione would offer that. With no Bibione podisti on their backs
it seems to be happening, but slowly. The registration form will come out as
soon as we have confirmation of the prices … hopefully this week.
To give us an idea of interest return this mail if you are thinking to come
so we can ensure we have provisionally booked enough appartments from the
point the agency informs us of pricing. THE PRICING BELOW IS PROVISIONAL as
mentioned above so we won't firm up your booking until you confirm using the
REGISTRATION form which will follow shortly -

REGISTRATION AND PAYMENT
Total price depends on type of accommodation. Single, double or three
or more persons sharing. The cost for the flats is fixed and is for 3 nights
(we will try to include the Wednesday night in the price for early
arrivals). We will negotiate for those staying extra nights with the agency.
Total Price Single Lit 195,000 per person
Double Lit 160,000 per person
3+ Share Lit 150,000 per person
Children under 12 requiring beds are half price, babies not requiring beds
are free.
Price includes accommodation for the whole weekend in self-catering
apartments, T Shirt, run fees for two hashes, registration, for fun run,
Full Scottish 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 (WHEN YOU ARE SENT IT) 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. 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. Late decision to come means you risk not staying in the main appartment
block.
LIMITED NUMBERS
Numbers are limited (mainly from a catering point of view), 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).
DISCLAIMER
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 Thursday 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. 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.
ACCOMODATION
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. 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, towels and toilet paper. They
have no heating because it is 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!

We are awaiting full run info but should take the following form :-
9.00 am. Start of fun run. There are runs of 6,12 and 21 km to choose
from. The hash usually takes the 12 km run. (Don't be put off 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. 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 say "Thank you" by
singing Sweet Chariot on stage! 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!!!
After to eat a light lunch, laze on the beach and depart, for those who have
to work on Monday.

REGISTRATION FORM WILL FOLLOW ASAP.
Basically it will:
- confirm the all inclusive price for the weekend
- ask you when you are coming
- ask you to detail the type of accommodation and with whom you want to share
- ask you if you want to go wine tasting and have lunch after
- ask you to agree to the disclaimer
