Why does the price have to bump up over time? It put me off from going last year and will probably do so again next year. I can't plan months in advance where I will be on a particular weekend, some people now lead complicated lives across multiple work places and countries....
The most interesting travellers don't book anything in advance!!

Sam was obviously being lighthearted and conversational with the wording of his last post, but if it needs clarifying.... the price doesn't increase - the discount reduces. It's an important and genuine distinction.
We appreciate that not everyone is able (or willing) to plan/commit so far in advance, but the majority can to some degree. The discounts are therefore a benefit to most people. We've also kept the prices/discounts the same for the third year in a row (except with the addition of 2-day passes for 2014).
For folk who prefer not to register in advance with a discount, the on-arrival price for a full 4-day pass is £75 or £45 for a 2-day pass. It's worth bearing in mind though that registering and paying before the end of August for a full 4-day pass costs the same as a 2-day pass purchased at the event itself.
Of course if you have a story of adventure to tell, or some sort of practical workshop/demo to give, you can register as a presenter for free (if you can be sure you'll be able to make it).

Thought I ought to mention that its just 21 days to go until the HUBB UK! And don't forget, if you book and pay before 9pm on June 12th then you nab the last discounted passes. ( Thanks to Iain for clarifying my lousy wording last time! You'd think an author would know better!  )
Your pass gets you access to the live music on Friday and Saturday nights, the really funny and informative Roadkill Cookout, all the presentations (0ver 120 sessions of them!!!), learn how to live from the hedgerows, link up with travel authors and film makers, meet Ted Simon, explore the 25+ exhibitors stands packed with everything travel, enter the competitions and well get stuck into everything that's happening. Did anyone mention real ale?
4 days in an amazing atmosphere - an oasis of travel.
The HUBB UK INFO is all here on this link.

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.
