International Jazz Banjo Newsletter

Ladies, Gentlemen and Banjo Collectors,
It is with greatest pleasure that I announce the 2006 Banjo Collector's Gathering to be held from Thursday evening, November 2, through Sunday noon, November 5, once again at our favorite venue, Colonial Williamsburg. We'll be announcing some of the highlights shortly but this year's program is shaping up to be very exciting.
Since last year's first-ever Gathering dinner in Arlington was such a success we've reserved the King's Arm Tavern on Saturday night for what we hope will be another raucous Gathering evening. We'll again be staying at the Woodlands Hotel and Suites, which has had a major renovation and upgrade since we've last stayed there. Attendees are responsible for making their own hotel reservations. Call 800-261-9530 or 757-229-1000, extension 3971, and ask for the special "Banjo Collectors Gathering" room block. Special rates for deluxe suites are $133 and rooms are $117 per day. Breakfast is included and there is no additional charge for double occupancy. A limited number of discounted rooms are available on a first come/first served basis so we recommend that you make reservations now. The registration fee for the Gathering is $125 for the entire event and, as always, we recommend signing up early to avoid disappointment as we can only accommodate a limited number of participants. Registration payments should be made to: Peter Szego, 2 Beekman Lane, Hillsborough, NJ 08844, USA.
Again, please register soon with Peter Szego. I will try to answer any questions directed my way.
Warm regards to all,
Hank.
