Should be up very soon. I know Grant is working on it, just waiting for some info to be included. Don't worry, your post is good enough!

Mini this year, and a full meeting next year is in the planning!

Volunteers to help are needed, so everyone, please contact Pongo to let him know if you can help or want to present!

thanks, Grant

Francophones?

Hello all!

I live about 130 kilometers from the meeting/camping site and would like to bring French speaking "motard" friends who may not speak much English. Any idea how many French speaking folks will be coming? As for myself I plan to come, with good vibrations...

Kind regards,

Douglas

Hi everyone,

Thanks for posting up on this thread.

1. It would seem we have quite a few interested in coming this year, and at the moment, we only have one or two who have actually ''registered''. As we can inform those organising the event both off an on the forum through the registration process without having to constantly post up, would those coming please register through the announcement page.

http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/events/france-2014

2. Anyone interested in giving a presentation, especially in French, please give details on the registration form.

3. There are some minor details to be changed in the English version of the announcement, but nothing drastic. This will be done as soon as possible by Grant & Susan, who have a huge workload on their hands,and are at present at HUBB U.K. which is where I spotted this on friday:-

Those of you who came last year will recognise Olivier and Zachary's Ural rig.
They are on the last leg now of a 1 year European tour which has taken them as far south on mainland europe as possible and all the way up to NordCap. Unfortunately they won't be able to come to St Amans this year, but have expressed keen interest in putting a presentation together for next year. Distance covered so far about 28000 kilometers, with no problems.

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.
