Third Annual LIFR 
Beaverkill River Trip
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, September 9, 10, 11, 2005 
Riverside Lodge, on the Beaverkill River, Horton, NY
All-inclusive Price to LIFRs in Good Standing is $160.00/each


SUMMARY:
These famed rivers, steeped in fly-fishing lore, are prime brown and rainbow fisheries. We should have mostly dry weather, with daytime temperatures in the 60s and 70s and evenings in the 50s and 60s. Last fishing light is at 7.30-8.00 PM. We invite you to relax by the fire, after your fishing day ends, with good friends in a convivial setting.
This trip is a no-hassle, fun-filled event for LIFRs, with super fishing prospects for LIFR's, relaxing times for spouses, world-class food for all, and cozy-warm beds for us to sleep in after the days activities.

THIS IS A TRIP FOR LIFR SPOUSES TOO!
Most LIFRs bring their spouses, as there's a lot for non-fishers to do and see the area.


TIME OF ESSENCE: 
The quicker you sign-up, the better your chances are to secure one of 17 two-person rooms. 

PAYMENT POLICY:
Please Pay me $160 cash, for your slot. Payments are due anytime before but not later than the LIFR June 7, 2005 meeting at which point we must release any unreserved rooms back to the Riverside. First paid get first preference at rooms of their choice. Tell me your roommate preference. As soon as we fill, I will put all others on a priority stand-by list.

CANCELLATION POLICY:
If you pay and must cancel, we can accept cancellations with refund up to July 5, 2005. 
After that you must find a replacement fly-fisher (and have that person pay you).
