Just a reminder to everyone that we need to spread the word a bit and if you can send photos to me that would be great. Better yet, upload them to the Flickr account.

Dayboro 2013 + Somewhere in Victoria 2013
Some ideas are forming for 2013 along these lines:
Dayboro 2013 to occur on the weekend Friday 27 September to Sunday 29 September 2013. This date is not the long weekend but the one before it. Why? The long weekend - 5/6 October 2013 is the Bathurst 1000 and that would be a real problem for many. Howver this time of year is worth a try, much warmer!
Talking to Grant and Susan via Skype yesterday the idea of starting on the Thursday and going through to Sunday morning only was raised. How do you guys feel about it?
Long term I see Dayboro being an annual event, some time each year and a second event being developed. I can see that Dayboro can really only cope with a maximum of 150 people. Once we reach that mark, we need to start reviewing the venue.
The second event may or may not be a same time/same place event or a roaming event. Along these lines, in October 2013 we could have a second meeting in Victoria, we've some willing volunteers ready to go. Do you think that a second event would be well patronised?
I'm interested in all thoughts.
Regards,
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.
