First HU NSW Meeting Oct 31-Nov 2 2014

[Susan Johnson]

We're very pleased to announce that our 1st HU NSW Travellers Meeting will be at Riverwood Downs near Barrington Tops National Park from October 31-November 2. Mark your calendar - registration is open now!

This all started with a post in late January - below:

NSW meeting for late October 2014 - your views requested!

We're trying to organise the first HU Travellers Meeting in New South Wales at the end of October.

We already have events scheduled for Queensland, Victoria and Western Australia, so it seems logical that we'd have an event in NSW!

As you might imagine, finding an appropriate venue is the first and hardest task in putting on an event. We always face challenges with respect to our requirements - since HU events are about Inspiration and Information as well as Connecting, getting good presentation facilities is often the stumbling block, even for venues that are accustomed to other motorcycle events.

A venue (the Station, Jindabyne) was suggested to us that ticks most of the boxes in terms of presentation spaces, food and accommodation (shared or private rooms). However, they are unable to offer camping.

We are aware that the weather is a bit chilly in late October in the Snowy Mountains, so camping may not be as attractive as it is in Queensland. Before we respond to the venue yea or nay, the questions we are posing to you are:

1. Have you been to a previous HU event?
2. Would you be interested in attending an HU event in New South Wales?
3. Would you attend an HU event where camping wasn't an option?
4. Are you interested in helping to organise an HU event in New South Wales?
5. Do you know of any venues that would tick all the boxes - presentation rooms (at least 2, largest holding 150), food service and good camping on site, and ideally other accommodation on site?

We'll be in Australia in October, and we hope to see you at an HU event!

Cheers,
Grant & Susan
