As you know, Bishopthorpe is currently in a state of limbo, which makes me reluctant to make commitments about the space even a few months ahead of time.
That being said, it's probably safe to say that the bedrooms on the third floor will be available during that last weekend in May. I would ask the following:
1. That you take responsibility for showing the guests how to get in and out of Bishopthrope using the combination lock, and ensuring the front door is locked at all times. I think you already know how to do this since you're a part of the quilting group, but if you need a refresher, just let me know;
2. That you and/or the bell ringers take responsibility for making and stripping the beds;
3. That those staying at Bishopthorpe be invited to make a freewill offering to the Church Society, which is currently shouldering all of the costs for keeping Bishopthorpe open and functioning. (Donations can be made online here, are considered charitable contributions for those filing taxes in Canada: https://www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/church-society-of-the-diocese-of-quebec/).
The bedrooms can accommodate the following:
2 bedrooms can accommodate up to 2 people on a queen bed
1 bedroom can accommodate up to 3 people (2 on a queen, 1 on a single)
1 bedroom can accommodate 1 person on a single bed
So, depending on how sleeping arrangements are configured, up to 6 people can be accommodated.
They would also have access to the kitchen to store food and prepare meals if they wished.
Let me know if this sounds reasonable to you.
Peace, Bruce
