NESI



NESI 2024 Registration

REGISTRATION WILL OPEN MAY 15, 2024

When: September 20 - 22    Where: Wisdom House, Litchfield, CT

Registration will open on May 15 and close on August 20.
A downloadable form and instructions for completing it will be available here at our website when registration opens.

  • Your registration fee must be paid no later than 10 days after your room request is confirmed. We will not hold your room past that time unless you have made a different arrangement with the registrar. We accept PayPal and personal checks.
  • Although shared-room rates are essentially the same as last year, the cost of a single room has increased. Most rooms can accommodate 2 or 3 people, so we would make more money to support the weekend if they were not booked as singles.
  • There is a deeply-discounted registration rate for a shared room with hall bath that is offered until July 1. This is intended to make our event available to people who otherwise could not afford it or would have serious difficulty paying the full rate. This could include younger players, full-time students, unemployed or under-employed people of any age, and retirees.

  • Rates for NESI 2024 - September 20-22
    All rates are PER PERSON and include 6 meals (Friday dinner through Sunday lunch). Roommates will be assigned if not designated on your registration form. Payment in full must be made within 10 days of registration; registration is not confirmed until payment is received.
    Contact the registrar (lynnh1947@gmail.com) to request a different payment arrangement if this creates a hardship.

    * Rate per person for three people who choose to share a room (family/friends) is the same as the 2-person rate.

Must be requested on or before July 1. Discounted rooms will have two or three occupants, depending on demand.
    *** Some en suite rooms have only one full-width bed, not 2 separate beds. If you are a couple who want an en suite room and are willing to share one bed, please indicate this on your registration form.
