Dear Anciano Pals,
If you have been reading your emails, you will recall that we have planned to kick off the 55th Anniversary of Shakespeare at Winedale with weekends in March and April devoted to working on the SAW archive--viewing old photos and identifying who is in them playing which roles in which plays in which years. Unfortunately, Round Top's Spring Antique Fair takes place during the March dates and there is no lodging to be had. On the April dates, we have located two available (beautiful!) houses in or near Round Top that can sleep up to 33 people between them, and we have booked them both.
Here's the deal. House #1 can sleep up to 19; House #2 can sleep 14. Bed-sharing will be required if we fill one or both houses (if you want or need a queen bed to yourself and the house is otherwise full, you can possibly book a bed and pay double). If we don’t fill the house or houses, we’ll divide the cost by head. We are putting down substantial deposits so we have to watch the calendar closely.
For house #1, larger capacity and lower cost, we will need to cancel by the end of next week, Sunday, February 23, to get a full refund. House #2, is smaller capacity and higher cost, but has a later cancellation date of March 25. Our guess, depending on how many of us there are and whether we take one or both of the houses, is that the per person cost for lodging will be between $300 - $500 for the three nights. Food will be separate, and we’ll think about how to keep those costs down. J. Frank Dobie would suggest pinto beans.
We can hammer out the details once we know who wants to join the fun, but we need to know by next Monday February 17 if you are in or out. Signups will be first-come first-served, and we’ll hope to fill the bigger, less expensive house in the next few days. If we are not mostly full by next Thursday, we will cancel that reservation and turn our attention to House #2, and our group will be smaller. So secure your spot! Reply quickly! Let the 55th Anniversary Reunion begin!
Once again, please let us know about April 24 - 27, 2025, Thursday to Sunday--including 3 overnights-- by Monday, February 17. ❤️❤️
Cheers,
Maggie, Kathy, Jerald, Mary and All the Border Collies!
