Thumbs up 1st HU Newfoundland Meeting Aug 12-15 2022

UPDATE - It's HAPPENING! August 12-15 2022!

Registration IS OPEN!

Note the date change, which we were hoping for, and is now CONFIRMED!

Announcing the 1st HU Newfoundland Travellers Meeting, in a great riding area on the south shore of Bonne Bay, near Gros Morne National Park in western Newfoundland. David Moores, our local host, says the area boasts hiking, history, wildlife, unique food, culture and especially music.

For adventure riding, there's the T'Railway Provincial Park, a linear reserve of some 883 km., developed and maintained along the abandoned rail line for motorcycles, snow machines and more.

Registration is open now with early bird rates.https://www.horizonsunlimited.com/ev...gistration.php

UPDATE 2022
We are "pretty confident" all is well and we'll be able to hold the event this year, FINALLY!



UPDATE 2021:
We know you are wondering whether Horizons Unlimited events are going ahead as planned, and how that may affect your own travel decisions. Your health and well-being are our top priorities, so please take care of yourself and your family.

We are working with our local organising teams and event venues, and monitoring regional and global developments, including travel bans and restrictions on events. Decisions will be made together with the local organising team and announced as far in advance as possible.

This event is currently going ahead as planned.

This may change at any moment, so stay in touch through the HUBB forum or social media. We will be providing updates on the 1st and 15th of every month, OR as needed. Stay updated here: https://www.horizonsunlimited.com/covid

Please direct your questions to: events-c@horizonsunlimited.com

Or post general comments of interest to the event on this thread.

We will send emails announcing changes only to everyone already registered for an event with all needed details.

Thanks for your understanding in this difficult time.

virtual hugs from Grant and Susan and all the HU family

I am David Moores of St. John's, NL, your Event Organiser. You can contact me through the Events / Contact form: https://www.horizonsunlimited.com/events/contact/

Meanwhile, I am hunting for presenters - particularly today I would like to find a person or 2 who would present on the good and the bad of TOMTOM and GARMIN. I am NOT looking to do a comparrison piece, but rather a session on each.

Any takers??

Just signed up and paid today.

I had a great time at the Rice Lake event this past May and I'm looking forward to returning to NFLD.

I breezed through Gros Morne in June 2018 and can't wait to explore more of this beautiful area.


Question:
I booked the cabin/bunks for accommodations. If I find another person interested can I upgrade at a later date to the Lodge with 2 beds per room?

thanks
brian

NL via Helicopter!

Talk about adventure travel! Check out these videos. COLD ISLAND is the adventure of a Newfoundlander and her doctor partner as they fly their Robinson R44 light helicopter from upstate New York to Newfoundland & Labrador via Quebec. Views not otherwise seen, smallest of outports, weather and logistics challenges. https://youtu.be/wzSevgYlZ5g

I have one request David

Please keep this thread updated with changes. I along with many others do not use Facebook which appears to be the preferred method of keeping people informed.

At the Rice Lake Event (May 2019) many of us were caught off guard as to the changes. We were told at the event it was on Facebook and we should have read it.

We politely replied that the HU website clearly stated any changes or updates would be posted under the Event thread, which it wasn't.

I realize its more work for you and thank you in advance.

Hi Brian, sorry the Ontario event wasn't updated on the HUBB, we try to do it, but sometimes it gets missed.
Good to hear that not everyone is on Facebook! NOT my favourite place.

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.
