First HU NSW Meeting Oct 31-Nov 2 2014
We're very pleased to announce that our 1st HU NSW Travellers Meeting will be at Riverwood Downs near Barrington Tops National Park from October 31-November 2. Mark your calendar - registration is open now!
This all started with a post in late January - below:
NSW meeting for late October 2014 - your views requested!
We're trying to organise the first HU Travellers Meeting in New South Wales at the end of October.
We already have events scheduled for Queensland, Victoria and Western Australia, so it seems logical that we'd have an event in NSW!
As you might imagine, finding an appropriate venue is the first and hardest task in putting on an event. We always face challenges with respect to our requirements - since HU events are about Inspiration and Information as well as Connecting, getting good presentation facilities is often the stumbling block, even for venues that are accustomed to other motorcycle events.
A venue (the Station, Jindabyne) was suggested to us that ticks most of the boxes in terms of presentation spaces, food and accommodation (shared or private rooms). However, they are unable to offer camping. 
We are aware that the weather is a bit chilly in late October in the Snowy Mountains, so camping may not be as attractive as it is in Queensland. Before we respond to the venue yea or nay, the questions we are posing to you are:
1. Have you been to a previous HU event?
2. Would you be interested in attending an HU event in New South Wales?
3. Would you attend an HU event where camping wasn't an option?
4. Are you interested in helping to organise an HU event in New South Wales?
5. Do you know of any venues that would tick all the boxes - presentation rooms (at least 2, largest holding 150), food service and good camping on site, and ideally other accommodation on site?
We'll be in Australia in October, and we hope to see you at an HU event! 
Cheers,
Grant & Susan

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.
