Unfortunately having thoroughly reviewed the current travel situation & recent surges it’s looking like the LBWVB event will be postponed until March 2021 - proposed Saturday 20th March This is due to uncertainty of: International travel Quarantine regulations upon arrival/return Pre-flight certificates/insurance requirements Staging an event for more than 50 people - crowd gatherings currently not allowed This will also give us a chance to recover lost time for fund raising for the respective charities. Hopefully many restrictions will have been lifted by March allowing most the freedom to travel. The Areca also feel March would be a more suitable date; this we can review again in December. Be safe.

Areca is actually 3 separate hotels. Areca - Soi Diana entrance Evergreen - Soi 15 entrance Corona - in the middle of Areca and Evergreen Our Pool area is the usual one called the Blue Ocean Pool which is between Evergreen and Corona Best to walk through from Areca entrance in Soi Diana for ticket entry as the Soi 15 pool entrance is closed

Some of whom no longer exist. Anaconda, Cocktails & Dreams, Horny Bar, Stringfellows, So What.I met hundreds of BMs form this forum, and others, and value the friendships made along the way.The Areca Lodge, who hosted the event every year, are disappointed as are many charities that we have directly helped.
