5 March 1999:
SPECIAL 12 DAY SPECTATOR/PLAYER PACKAGE

There is a great deal of interest in the upcoming Orbis World Bridge Championships being held in Bermuda in January 2000. Since the championships will be followed immediately by the Bermuda Regional Tournament (January 22 to 29) many players have expressed interest in arriving a few days before the start of the Regional. This would allow them to share in the excitement of the semi-finals and finals of these world championships then stay to play in the Regional event.

Because space in the Southampton Princess will be in great demand, we have booked a block of 100 rooms for this specific purpose. A special 13-day/12-night package has been arranged at a rate of US$1,982 per person, double occupancy, or US$2,852 single. The arrival date would be Tuesday, 18 January 2000, with departure on Sunday, 30 January. The rate includes breakfast, dinner, afternoon tea, all taxes and gratuities, use of the golf course, tennis courts and spa as well as guaranteed seating in the Vu-graph Room. A deposit of US$450 per room is required.
