I have not been to any of the Hubb meets for a good few years as for me they simply got to big - but thats just me lots of people love the big events, however i still attend a few mini meets. I agree with Tim on one thing maybe a limited number meet would be well attended. If two were held and would help people to attend one if the dates clashed with another, maybe I am over simplifying it as i realise more organisation is needed but one meet could be aimed towards the commercial sponsorship type event that the current meet seems to have become maybe with bands etc and the other could be without the commercial stuff offering talks and bike skill events / riding etc more like the original format. It should be easier to accommodate smaller events and remain cost effective with a bit profit in it for HU. Jake.

I've suggested it already http://www.shropshirecountyshow.com/...re/index.shtml
Pretty sure it meets your needs - big enough, and small enough. Central - in the midlands. Several onsite venues for talks, plus close to town centre with other venues available. Plenty of camping, but benefit of hotels and b&b in town. Other vehicle clubs have events there.
They have good contacts for suppliers for things like toilets / showers, power, catering etc...

Don't know how you guys are getting along with your searches, but an idea suddenly came to mind as I was watching a U tube tent demo, ( funny how these things happen!). has anyone tried Stoneleigh ParK events centre? 800 acres smack in the middle of the country, about 1/2 hour from Birmingham/Coventry/Warwick https://www.google.fr/webhp?sourceid...neleigh%20park

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.
