OS OUTDOOR SHOW NEC March 14-16
Should be an interesting show with plenty of good kit on offer. Will hopefully be travelling by bike to save on the £10 parking last time we went in the car and parked at the Bike musuem and walked across the roundabout.

didnt even know it was on, they usually (the NEC) mail me a "whats on" but havent this year yet.
good tip about the carparking, alternatively you can take a disabled relative with a blue badge (even if the inconsiderate buggers dont want to go, sit em down at the coffee shop and pick em up on the way out)(that'll teach mum not to moan i dont take her anywhere) and park in the disabled parking right near the doors.

I just got some free tickets from waterstones book shop! I didn't even have to buy anything. Get your illiterate butts down there, ask if you don't see them on the counter. I think they're from OS maps as they're a sponsor of the show. Even if you have to buy an OS map it's a good deal.

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.
