HU France 9-11 September 2016
Following a recent discussion with Camping les Hirondelles, I am pleased to say they have invited us back for the weekend of 9-11th September.

No details yet, but put a note in your diary/calendar to come to this meeting. Already discussing some great ideas for this now popular event.

I would be delighted to hear from French speaking/bilingual volunteers to help with admin re the meeting, and especially volunteers who can do stand up concurrent translations ( French /English) for the presentations at the meeting.

Those who have already put their hand up to help after this years event are on my list to contact in the New Year.

In the meantime

Hi Jean-Luc,

Great to see your post, and I will put you on my list of people to contact in the New Year. I'm hoping we have some presentations next year from travellers who have been to those areas who may be able to help you with good knowledge. In the meantime there is plenty of information on the HUBB from people who are very experienced on Russia and the far east.

available to help
I'll be available to help in september and I live in that area as well. French is not my mothertongue (=Dutch), so translations will no be so good, but assisting is always possible.

Hoping having a nice event

Hi everyone,

The announcement and registration for this years meeting will be appearing soon, so we're looking forward to receiving your bookings. This year I'm being helped with the administration and setting up the meeting by my French friend and HU colleague Roger ( OTRA).

We're now on the hunt for travellers who would like to tell us about their trips/ideas etc, so we would like to hear from anyone who would like to make a presentation;do a workshop;show a video etc.

Following suggestions after last years packed meeting, we will have concurrent bi lingual translators to assist where necessary with all the presentations etc, so your participation in French or English is not a problem for the mixed audience.

We look forward to hearing from those wishing to participate and to all who want to come and enjoy this meeting. ( The campsite and the food's great!).

Hi everyone,

Thanks to Grant and Susan for putting up the details and registration. Keen people already signing up, so make sure you get registered as soon as possible to ensure your place, and to take advantage of the discounted event pass. We're keen to hear from presenters with interesting stories to tell, and likewise anyone who would like to present a workshop on any related topic like first aid; tyre changing; how to pack for a long journey, etc etc!. Presentation/workshops in English or French. We have some bi-lingual volunteers already, but more would be appreciated to help at the presentations, so please sign up.

In the meantime,hope you enjoy some excellent travelling wherever you are, and hope to see you in September.

Hello everyone, registrations are now coming in for our event, and I know there are a lot of you out there who have said in other places that you will be coming. Please make sure you register as soon as possible, ( even if you pay later), so that you can be sure of a place.

Roger ( OTRA) and I are keen to get the presenters signed up as soon as possible, so don't hesitate to register, or contact us if you want to discuss your idea or need more information about the meeting.

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.
