Horizons Unlimited Travellers Meetings

5th New Zealand Mini-Meeting

Saturday, Feb 21, 2009, Christchurch

More Details and updates here on the HUBB for this meeting.

Many apologies for the lateness of this information - lots of changes, plus I (Grant) have been insanely busy and running way behind and not able to keep up-to-date on the meetings info.

Want to know what people thought of other HU Meetings? Is it worth coming to the Meeting?

"I'm so looking forward to another UK meet. My only problem is that I simply can't get to every talk I want, such is the amount of terrific presentations on offer. Each year I've been astonished at how articulate, intelligent, informative and entertaining the speakers are. I'm willing to help with anything that doesn't keep me from a talk - and my timetable will be full to bursting!" More comments here.

Short History of HU Meetings

The Plan

The plan is simple. Show up by Saturday morning, meet people and eat! Food is including spit-roasted lamb, and a keg of beer from a friend of Nigels who has a boutique brewery.

2009 Speakers and Tech Seminars (so far, more to come):

• 12 years, 515,000km, 193 Countries!
  • Peter and Kay Forwood, Australia
    Every country in the world, and still going
    
• Experienced Travellers - ask the experts anything you want! There will be loads of experienced travellers there and lots of opportunity to bend their ears!
• and more to come as we get closer to the date.
• How about you? We're all here to learn, and there's LOTS to learn! We want to do more presentations and seminars - but we need volunteers to give them! Any topic you can contribute having to do with motorcycle travel, maintenance, planning etc, lasting 20 minutes or more, would be great. Please contact me here to volunteer.

Leaving on a big trip in 2009?

Plan on leaving from the Meeting! We'll make it a great send-off! Or coming home around the time of the Meeting? What a great place to arrive at!
