There have been a few previous attempts at organising a BBO "reunion". Official stuff, hotels etc. I think they suffered from lack of demand.

BBO has expanded v. much over the past year. I suspect that there now exists demand for a well attended BBO holiday.

Assume a central location such as East Coast USA or Western Europe. Perhaps England is best :) 1 week long, bridge planned for every day but optional excursions to Stonehenge, Cambridge etc. Stay in a nice country hotel.

I don't think two nights is enough to entice people from, say, New York to UK. Maybe 3 or 4 nights would be a good compromise.

I think Cambridge would make a fantastic venue. It is a historic, gorgeous and quaint city. It is close to Stanstead and London. Say, summer 2005?

two days or one day event is good as well. Oxford would be nice:)

"was a weeklong affair "

Hmm on that basis you could talk me into it.
