Excellent news!!! Yup, crack on and register : ) The talks? NOTHING : ) that's one of the brilliant things about the Meet. Once you have paid for your entry, the presentations are free so you can go to as many as you can fit in. There's a little to stump up for the Roadkill Cook Out but that's fair goes. Lots of driving/riding required to snag enough roadkill : )
First Aid? That's perfect. We are delighted to have your help. When you register you'll find the page to volunteer on. With First Aid you are normally just on call with a walkie talkie so you might like to put yourself down for a few hours on the Gate Crew or...
I'll be in touch with you directly as soon as I get your volunteer reg form.
Catch you soon.
Cheers,
Sam
PS Any more First Aiders out there? We still need 3 more on the crew...

This will be my first time at Ripley, so please forgive me if this is obvious, but . . .
I can see a list published on the site of who will be there over the weekend; will there be a more specific timetable of who / when, or is being at work currently affecting my need for organisation? There are some specific things I'd like to attend, and want to make sure I don't miss out. As my first time, I'm not sure what to expect.
Thanks in advance.

Nearly there
Hi Endurodude,
You're not the only one wondering when the schedule will be published. My apologies to everyone for keeping you in suspenders.
We've got lots of (really great) new presenters at Ripley this year, as well as plenty of well known favourites. There have been numerous last minute changes and additions (all good ones) and I'm just waiting on confirmation from one more person before finalising things.
I'm hoping to get the schedule published on the Ripley event page tomorrow afternoon (Tuesday 14th) or Wednesday morning at the latest.
Will update this thread, and also Facebook and Twitter, when it's online.
In the meantime, the list of presenters on the event page is up-to-date.
Iain.

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.
