This year's accommodations are in the form of townhouses.  Each townhouse has 4 bedrooms with 2 single beds in each room.  Therefore we will be placing 8 ladies in each townhouse.  This a great opportunity for you to get a group of 8 ladies together to make this a fun weekend with your own townhouse.
If you do not have a group of 8 registering together, we will be placing other individuals in the remaining bedrooms of the townhouse to fill up each unit. 
 
If you are with a group with less than 8 ladies and you would like to reserve a townhouse to yourselves, the cost of the townhouse will be divided up between the number of ladies in your group.  The cost per townhouse before March 15th is $160.00.  The cost per townhouse after March 15th is $320.00.
 
If you are registering with a group of ladies and would like to share a townhouse, please provide the other ladies' names on the registration forms or send in all of your registrations forms together and a make a note that you would like to be in the same town house.  If you have a group larger than 8 ladies and would like adjacent town houses, please indicate that as well and we will try our best.
 
Each town house has 2 bathrooms, a living room and a small kitchen with a fridge and microwave.
