ScooterGal is in da house!!

I may have to stand in for Belle and Nads tho as it's unlikely they'll arrive in time. I'll get the slides from Belle and pretend to do the Mongolian presentation. :confused1:

I'll be riding the GOR the weekend prior if anyone wants to meet up a few days beforehand.

Hi Scootorgal ,

Just read your blog, what a trip. Should be a great presentation.

We need to organise timings etc, so would you mind emailing Helen on helen@thechangeteam.com.au with the details of the presentation?

Thanks,

Shane

BTW, sometimes it takes me three tanks before I can thinks straight!

Camping fees at Dayboro
Hi everyone,

Just to let you know that there has been a slight price rise for the camping fees at Dayboro. They are now:

$12 Powered Site (2 adults)
$10 Non-Powered Site (2 adults)
$3 each for additional campers per night

There are also less powered sites available as the show society has put in a new building. No worry though, as there are plenty of power points both in and out of the buildings to re-charge laptops, phones, etc. The new building we may be able to use as a "break-out" room.

BTW, we have permission to use the oval for rider training, so looking for volunteers for this.

Regards,

Shane

I don't have numbers for any of the events as yet,will be able to start getting these sorts of details together in mid-July. All three events - Dayboro, Cavendish and Perth - promise to have their own flavour but all also promise to be absolutely great with equal parts inspiration, education and just plain good fun. We should have rough timetables for oth Dayboro and Cavendish by late July.

Regards,

Shane

Tentspace on ADVRIDER.COM
Hi everyone,

Just thought I'ld post up somethong about the "Tentspace" thread on advrider.com.

The links associated with this thread are:

Tent Space Sign-Up Thread - Page 64 - ADVrider

Tent Space Map - Page 6 - ADVrider

https://maps.google.com/maps?q=http:...339844&t=m&z=3

Or a Google Search: http://tentspace.ridetoeat.com/artents.kmz

I'm thinking that with three HU meetings in Australia this year, this may be an excellent resource for those travelling as well as an opportunity for people who want to "give back". I'm also thinking that I may well use this a fair bit next year when I travel down to the Adventure Travel Film Festival again ( work and study permitting ).

I'll post onto the relevant HUBB sections for the other HU meetings as well.

Regards,

Shane

Hi Jo,

At this point, it looks like I will be able to make it and so will hopefully see you there.

It does look like an excellent meet shaping up.

Regards,

Shane

Australian Road Rider magazine Travel Special
Hi everyone,

Latest issue of Australian Road Rider is their Annual Travel Special and Horizons Unlimited gets a guernsey. A 10 page spread with a focus on Martin Williams, Jan and Paul Dwyer and Haydn and Diane Durnell. If you have friends thinking about coming but not sure, this is an excellent conversation starter.

Regards,

Shane

The way to get to registration for all events is on the Menu above, Events, then you'll be on the events listing page for everything.

The REALLY easy way to register for the Cavendish Victoria HU Travellers Meeting though is here

See you there!

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.
