BESS will hold a private party each month in the Baltimore area. Attendance will be limited to contributors and their guests only. Please see the Event Calendar link on the left for party dates.
Once you have joined BESS, you will be welcome at all our socials. You must make reservations since space is limited at any party. Click on the link below to email your reservation request and be sure to include your contributor number in your message. You will then receive confirmation and information about where the party will be held.
Please remember that all BESS socials are private parties for contributors and their guests only. Please do not discuss party locations or dates in any public forum or post information about BESS parties on any email list. This will enable BESS to remain in compliance with the local laws and zoning regulations. Guests of contributors will need photo identification and will be asked to sign a guest waiver at the door.
The cost of regular BESS socials is twenty dollars ($20.) for each of our contributors and twenty-five dollars ($25.) for each of their guests. Special events may be priced differently. Please also bring a dish for the table.
Reservations for parties may be made by BESS contributors at: BESS RSVP
Please review the Party Rules & Dungeon Etiquette listed below before attending a party.
