Hello everyone,
Since these post in 2010, there have been some developments: I've been nominated to organise the 2011 HUTM in QLD and completed some work. I sent out an email via the Brisbane HU Community list, but dod not think to post here, at least not until now anyhow. So here is a copy of the email I sent out to the Brisbane HU Community: ================================================== ========= Hello Everyone I've received a great response already in one day. Here are some more details: Location: Dayboro showgrounds Memorial Showgrounds MT Mee Road, Dayboro The Dayboro Show Society Date: Friday 17 June 2011 to Sunday 17 June 2011 Some setup on Friday, festivities start Friday afternoon or evening - no schedule has been set yet. If people start arriving early, there is an onsite caretaker who can direct them to their own private patch of heaven. Facilities at the showgrounds: Camping with powered and un-powered sites The website says that the camping costs (per night) are: $10 Powered Site (2 adults) $7 Non-Powered Site (2 adults) $3 each for additional campers per night BUT I want to confirm the price for non-powered sites We will be hiring the pavilion for the seminars etc, so there is no need to set up a marquee etc. The pavilion does have a kitchen as well, but the kitchen may be used by the catering, so some details to be worked out there. Toilets and showers on the showgrounds. There are only three male and three female showers though, so there could be a line-up at times. Catering: At this stage - my thoughts only - I think what was done in 2010 is a good model. Catered on Saturday night dinner and Sunday morning breakfast and the rest is self catering. The Dayboro show society can do this for us at a good price but I would like to form a committee for this whole event and seek some feedback. Local Area Facilities: Within walking distance Dayboro Pub IGA Supermarket Coffee Shop Bakery Petrol Station and general store General Practice, but I don't know what the opening times are Within 30 minutes ride/drive Petrie, Kallangur, Lawnton and Strathpine shopping areas D'Aguliar Pub and General Store across the top of Mount Mee, but I'm not sure if this is an easy 30 minutes, never timed it before. Petrie markets in Pioneer Village are on Sunday morning and should be interesting to some. Pioneer Village Country Music Club quite often have some good acts Pioneer Village Country Music Club Costs: Other than the cost of the camping, there are costs for HU, shirts, catering etc, similar to 2010. I've got a draft document and thought that it would be best to check that I am on the right track with the committee. Alcohol: BYO, no licence Charity: All HUTM raise funds for a selected charity. I would like this to be AngelFlight, if this is AOK? Committee: So this is the part where we need to start organising a bit. I've never done this sort of thing before, so feel free to jump in anytime. I think we need a committee with members to organise: Presenter liaison - someone to liaise, organise and schedule in the various presenters? Accommodation Co-ordinator - As there is no hotel/motel style accomodation on-site and for some people this is important, we need someone to build list of accommodation alternatives in teh nearby area such as the various B&Bs on Mount Mee, what does the Dayboro Pub offer etc? Volunteer coordinator. We'll need volunteers to 'man the gate' and collect cash, distribute wristbands etc Media Liaison. - Someone to write press releases and contact the appropriate media, such as Australian Road Riders, Trail Bike Adventure Magazine perhaps. Auctioneer. - Normally there is an auction to raise funds for a selected charity, so we need someone who can do a good job of this. Vendor Liaison. - Someone who can act as a single point of contact for vendors who want to come and display their products. Some work has been started with this and plenty more left to do. Rides. - Craig Iedema has put his hand up to creating an off-road loop. There are a number of good on-road and off-road rides in the area, so perhaps we could either have some maps or even some organised rides or both. For Sale / Swap / Give Away board. I guess the next step is to start building the list of volunteers and perhaps get together, maybe even ride out or meet out there. Regards, Shane |
If a lurker noob is ok i might be able to make it up for the meet, have a few run's on in July but should be free in June. know a few familiar names here from ADV...

Hi Shane
Anth and I (Toowoomba) can help with some of the set-up. I can do the Media stuff again but won't actually be there as I'll be tripping around the Middle East - Yippee!! Perhaps I can do a ride report while on the road via Skype :-) PM me and we will talk about the media stuff. |
I will put this in my diary now. Hopefully I will be able to make it. I had a ball last year.
|
Whats the go with the date change? I have booked my leave to attend on the original date. Is the new date set in stone? I need to change my leave if it is.

Grant doesn't seem to have updated the Events Meeting calendar http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/meetings just says within 3 hours of Brisbane

Confirm dates?
Hi all
Can anyone confirm what the dates are for this meeting? The dates on the meetings page still conflict with this thread. Marty |
Dates are now SET - 17-19 June.
Sorry for the confusion - seems the fairgrounds were accidentally double booked and we lost, so had to move it back a week. And I forgot to update this thread :( Hope it works ok for everyone! have fun, :mchappy: and I wish I could be there! But Germany to Aus to UK in 3 weekends seems a bit ambitious! |

Meeting
This thread appears to be seriously quiet for a hu meeting only a month away, I have been asked a couple of times is it still on ?
I myself unfortunately will not be there as I will be back in Africa, but usually this close to a meeting there is quite a bit of banter "who will be there, who will not, who are the speakers etc" any up dates ? I suppose registration is now open and Grant could advise us on the strength of interest shown there I suppose. Remember we must get behind and support these events, I have been to 2 and had a great time at both !!!!:D |
Well, I'm excited.
This will be my first, a HU virgin.:innocent: Will there be an initiation??:( I was disappointed that I missed out last year, but I found out about it too late Pete. |
I ama still unsure, it will all depend on work, and I will probably only know about a week or so out.
As I am saving hard for the next leg of my trip, that has priority, but it is only a day ride south, so I should be able to squeeze it in :) Cheers TS |
Hmmm, just did a map search of the following location for the meeting
"Dayboro showgrounds Memorial Showgrounds Corner of Don Kerr Memorial Drive and Mount Mee Road, Dayboro" According to google maps, there is no intersection, and if you zoom in, you can see there is no connection, any clues anyone? Cheers TS |
