We plan to hold our NC State Open separate this year and have the Virginia Open & District 4 in September. We have a block of 10+ rooms reserved under "NC Checkers" - Group rate of $84.00 + tax = $94.00 for a king or double bed, non-smoking, available May 14th through 17th; however, most players will book the 14th & 15th. Same venue we have used in the past seven years, and our contact person is Laurie Stafford. You must let the desk receptionist know you are a "checker player" to get group discount and make your reservation by phone (336-434-4797), don't use the internet to book your room. Please reserve your room early since you may cancel anytime prior to check-in until 4:00 PM on the date of your arrival without charge or penalty.
