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??

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.

Hmmm.... what's it worth to you?
Be sure to join the overall HU FB Group while you're at it:

Note: We're not fussy how you connect with us and other travellers, just so you do!

Grant, thank you for sending us to FaceBook for updates. I joined the group but there is so much junk posted there that is not relevant to updates on the Newfoundland event. Is there another group specifically for this event? Thank you for your prompt response, Missrider.

Yes, there is an HU NL Facebook Group!
Also of course the HU NL Facebook Event page.
And most importantly the Event page itself for Presenter etc updates. If you have registered for the event OR added yourself to the Event Updates list, (NO need to do both, it all becomes one list) you will receive an occasional update as needed.
Re junk on the HU Group page - just not relevant to NL, or real junk? Please report anything that shouldn't be there - we have moderators around the world, but they can't catch everything, so as always we rely on you the reader to report any problem anywhere to do with HU. Thanks for helping out!

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.
