Travellers meeting in Portugal!!

**GPais** · #1 16 Apr 2002

What about a travellers meeting in PORTUGAL!!
Great SUN, WINE and Sea Food waiting for you!
I'd be pleased to receive everyone to a meeting....you know these kind of events are rare in this country where only RR bikes are adored!!!

Perhaps in 2003!!! What do you think?

We'd be delighted to support you if you want to lead it. If it's in 2003 we MIGHT even be there ourselves.

But you could aim for one later this year, say September. Up to you, let me know how we can help!

Start by contacting the communities in Portugal and Spain and see if you can get support.

Hello, How about a meet either the week before or the week after the Faro Rally, so that those from other countries in Europe can take in both, the 2003 date should be about 18th July.

Hi ppl

it's good to know my idea was well accepted.
You could help me about somethings:

how these kind of meetings usually are? They aren't like Faro or other motorcycle meetings arent they??
What are the common "attractions"?

how many people usually go to those meetings?

say something and i'll think on a date!
cheers

The HU meet in the UK was nothing like a 'normal' english bike rally. The differences were, no disco, bands, games or traders. Just great overland bikes, good conversation, a place to put the tent, and presenters-travellers that are willing to share there stories with others. Obviously in the UK due to the weather, a function room of some sort was needed, along with equipment for showing slides etc. Why not get in touch with the organisers if you need any advice.

Great!

That was my idea of a meeting of this kind.
I'll check for a place, on the countryside preferably. And what about WC and drinking/eating?
For me (i'm a scout) i use nature's WC and with time i could arranje a

spot or a place near a nice, cosy, small village!!
I'll email Grant Johnson.
Thanks mate
