Damn, I was also really keen to go, but too late with registration. If any spots become vacant or if somebody won't like to sell a ticket they can no longer use then I'm well keen.

![Sad](https://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hubb/images/smilies/sad.gif) The best plans of etc-etc. Had this great plan, head up to Canada to catch the Nakusp HU meet, ride some adventure in Canada and the US, then arrive back home in time to catch the Cavendish HU meet. Had a great time at the West Canada meet, rode off road in BC for over a week, then toured from Jasper down into the US, great riding and meeting up with friends. Now, after all the plans I miss out on Cavendish, bummer, never thought that entries would close, but then Victorian events can attract large crowds.
Which brings me to think, that perhaps there is now room for yet another HU meet in OZ, NSW.
Regards and hope ( ![Very Happy](https://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hubb/images/smilies/biggrin2.gif) ![Very Happy](https://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hubb/images/smilies/biggrin2.gif) the lucky ones) enjoy the Cavendish meet.

what is Full? Events or campground?
I also have friends who want to come from Adelaide. Can they attend? We don't need a campsite, just the events. Ta.

Full or not??
I guess we really need to hear from one of the event organisers with regards to how full is full. :confused1:
I quoted Grant Johnson's post from week or so ago as he stated that it's full as they've had many more registrations than expected.
Since the I'm wondering how many have pulled out? who knows. Hopefully these questions will catch the of an organiser.

We'd love to have another one in NSW! Someone just needs to talk to me and get the info on what is needed and we can do it for next year!
The basics are simple:
1: Camping space
2: Presentation roomS - at least 2 pref 3
3: catering / food available on site
4: Ideally cabins on site for those who don't wish to camp, or Hotels, B&B etc nearby.
5: Good riding in the area
6: and most important - a sensible price!
Look at showgrounds, youth camps/boy scout type places, campgrounds are occasionally possible.
Make it happen and we'll come!

Still stands, very sorry. We'd love to be able to say everyone can come but we can't. The issue is not so much tent space, but the meeting room is full at 100 people, and we are now at or a bit over that.
If we allow more, then we'll have severe overcrowding, annoyed people, fire marshall issues, and a generally bad experience for EVERYONE, not just those who register late or "just show up", and that's not fair to those who did it right and registered early.
We'd love to have a bigger venue, but someone needs to find it. Queensland hit 170 people this year and it was a fantastic event, and will be even bigger next year, so they're looking for a new venue now. Vic could be as big or bigger, it just needs the right venue. See the post above for what is needed.
Please take this as the final word on availability for Cavendish, if there is any change, cancellations etc I will post it here.
to those who have registered: Well done, see you there!

Yes, there will be a final one posted Sunday... after the event!
However a temporary, flexible one that can and will change should be available a few days before. ![Smile](https://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hubb/images/smilies/smile.gif) Bikes have a bad habit of breaking, so it changes!
We'll post it on the web page and here when we have it.
