Marketing help
Hi Shane
Do you need help with Marketing? I can put in sometime there. Also I could do a little talk about my travels last year if you think people might be interested.
Cheers
Helen

Helen, that would be great. The biggest issues are to get a few more vendors in and to check what I have done so far for getting participants. And yes, I would love to put you into a session on your travels. Would a 45 minute spot be enough?

Ride Sunday 12 Feb 2012
Attention all HUBBers.
We're off on a ride on Sunday.
Start at Dayboro Bakery - Samford - Mount Glorious - Wivenhoe - Moore ( for lunch ) - Kilcoy - Woodford - Dayboro.
Meet at 8:30 AM, leave by 9:00 AM. Lunch at around 12:00 PM
Timings are all a guess and probably not a good one at that.
If you would like a mudmap, email me shane@landau.com.au
See you there?
Regards,
Shane

** DRAFT ** Schedule for AUS 2012
Hi everyone.
I'm sure there will be quite a few changes, there are some gaps to fill and so forth but I'm at the stage where we have enough together to throw the schedule out there for discussion, amendment and improvement:

In 2011 we had quite a few arrive on the Thursday and a bunch went up to the football club for tea, which is where we also ended up on Friday as well and it was good. So I'ld recommend all the early birds to check it out again. If it isn't open, there are about five or six places in the main street worth a try.

Ride Leaders and sweeps
Hi everyone,
Keeping in mind the size of the group we hope for this year, I would like to have four ride-outs on Sunday morning:
Advanced On-road
Advanced Off-road
Not-so-advanced On-road
Not-so-advanced Off-road
Mike and Jo Hannan are locked in for ride leader for the Advanced On-road and Frank Kuruz as sweep.

So now I'm putting out the call for ride leaders and sweeps. I'm after riders who know the areas well and perhaps will get in touch beforehand and plan the ride a bit. Looking at 2.5 hours each ride so that we can stagger the departure and arrival times as well. If you're up to the challenge, please let me know.
Thanks,
Shane

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.
