Thanks,

Shane
Sunday morning is fine, just let me know what time you want us there.

Great Joe,

I've got you and Carmel down for the first shift, which in theory, should start at 9:00 AM. So if you could be there at 8:50, just to cater for setup and early birds that would be great. I'm hoping to get enough volunteers for two-hour shifts only.

Thanks again and looking forward to ctaching up with you both.

Film from 2013 ATFF

Found a short for one of last year's films. Whilst not on the schedule for this year, it gives an insight into the content and quality of the films shown each year. The short can be found at:

HUBBers get together

Excellent idea.

How about Saturday night? Meet at the Bright Brewery wearing a HU shirt and go from there?

I don't know about the backpackers, but the caravan park wanted $35pn for an unpowered patch.

I opted for a self-contained apartment (sharing with others) where I can cook my own meals for only a bit more than the campsite.

Try getting a small group together and you can bring the price down to $40pn for a real bed.

New to Horizons Unlimited?

Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
