And at the same venue which is brilliant news,

...................... as I seem to have 2 shower tokens left over.

That's ten minutes of next June accounted for. Let's hope the rest of it will be as warm and satisfying

Leave booked :-)

Just followed your example, mine's now booked too.

It's great to hear that people are already booking the time off to attend next year's event - fantastic!

By way of a review of the first HUBB UK event, we've compiled some of the overwhelmingly positive feedback Sam and I have received (including from the comments box in the bar) and put it together with a few of the volunteers' photos on this page.

We're all delighted by how much everyone enjoyed the event and found it valuable, but we're especially pleased that the idea of bringing together overland travellers regardless of vehicle choice worked so well. The comments about it being like "one big family" sum it up perfectly.

Nothing ever goes entirely to plan of course and there were a number of things that were less than perfect. It was a big learning exercise both for us (at a new venue) and for Donington Park Farmhouse (dealing with a new kind of event). We really appreciate all the suggestions for improving the event itself and the feedback about the venue facilities. We're taking careful note of them all and conversations have already happened with the venue about aspects that need developing or enhancing.

As for the aircraft noise.... it's the inevitable downside of having a beautiful site so close to an air freight terminal. Some struggled, but from what we've been told most people seemed to stop noticing (or at least being bothered) after their first night.

We'll be doing everything we can to make HUBB UK 2014 even more inspiring and memorable - the ideas are already buzzing!

Just a note from me to follow on from Iain's post. We are chuffed with how many people used the comments and feedback box that was on the counter in the bar. Thanks to everyone who filled a card in and many thanks also to everyone who has been posting brilliant feedback on forums and FB! Cheers

I've popped next year's dates in the diary, put me down for Thursday gate duties again Sam, it was a great way for a this first-timer to get into the spirit of things seeing everyone turn up.

Oh and I have already thought of a cunning boiler suited plan for 2014.
