evening price

yes, read the pdf but feel you could be missing out on trade for people who cannot get there for all day, like us 3?

Surely there is a rate for this?

Cheers Andy

Apologies again Andy, but we're not able to offer an evenings-only rate.

Hi all

I'm already booked for Ripley, but after a chat with Sam at a recent bike show, I'd like to volunteer. He asked me to put my name down on the site in advance of the event but I can't work out how.

Any advice, anyone?

Cheers

Richard

Hi Richard,

That's great - many thanks - all help very welcome. Just complete this page with details of what you'd be interested in doing and Sam will get back to you.

See you there next week.

PS. Good to see someone else from Hitchin on the HUBB

Online Registration Now Closed

Online booking for Ripley is now closed.

If you were planning to attend and haven't already registered, you can still just turn up and pay cash on the gate.

Full details here....

Hi Richard, apologies for not getting back to you myself. Somehow I missed your post with all that's going on. So glad Iain is more on the ball than I am and has got back to you already. Looking forward to seeing you again. And thanks for volunteering to help - much appreciated!!!!

Just a couple of days to go. Have to say that the big kid is coming out in me now. Smiles and excitement this end. Going to be brilliant to link up with friends old and new!

Camper at event

Hi -this year I have to use my small VW Camper to come to the event instead of my bike and tent. I would have my bike on a trailer - is there room for this? Also where exactly on site are Campers going to be? It says at the top of the bottom field but which one do you mean by that?
Cheers, looking forward to yet another great event.

Directions at the Gate

Hi Angelo,

No problem at all - when you arrive the gate crew will explain where you can park.

See you soon.

Preparations in Full Swing

A quick update....

We've made some great progress with the set up since yesterday afternoon - all the presentations rooms are ready, the marquee is being constructed, registration and gate tents are up, and the AV gear is being sorted out.

Quite a few people are already here and the volunteers are doing a fantastic job getting everything organised.

And the weather... is actually looking pretty promising. We've had some light showers this morning, but it's nice and warm and the sun has even been making some appearances. The forecast seems to be improving for the weekend - fingers crossed

We'll be putting some photos up on the HU Facebook page later on.

Think the bar's open....

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.
