The 10th Horizons Unlimited Meeting, Lumb Farm, Ripley, Derbyshire, UK

Its once again taking place over the weekend of 24 - 27th June 2010, Thursday to Sunday. A week later than last year.
Costs are £30.00 for the whole weekend, if you register AND pay before the end of December 2009. £50.00 if you leave it too late! Registration is open now and we already have over 100 folk registered and paid.
This includes 3 nights camping and entrance to all the presentations and demonstrations. You don't have to camp, though there is no reduction in the price, a list of nearby accommadation can be found on the website/google.

We are now accepting applications from presenters for putting on a show, it can be on any bike related travelling topic. Last year we had our most diverse range of topics ever, with some fantastic shows and knowledgable talks.
To help planning the event we need your application forms in early, before Friday 30th April 2010.
Over the weekend we have around 40 presenters putting on over 50 shows! Check out the range of topics here

We are also looking for volunteers as usual! We had an excellent crew last year doing a range of activities - gate - registration - I.T. - recycling etc, this year we'll need some folk with some cooking skills too, to help out with Dannys 'Roadkill Demonstation'
It takes over 60 volunteers to put on the meeting and this year we'll need a few more. Sam Manicom (full time author and journo) organises the volunteers and can be contacted here if you feel you can help out in any way.

We'd like to continue offering the rideouts this year. We have no problem in filling up the spaces but always struggle to find rideout leaders. If you can help in any way or know someone who wants to lead one please get in touch with me via the website and I'll explain all.

hi all
Its that time of year again to start getting the wood ready for the rally fire so instead of a few of us struggling if anybody wants to help we can make a weekend of it ,There is camping room in the garden floor space in the house hot showers and some good stews to eat and the possibilty of a few drinks , We will have to pick a dry weekend at the end of feb or into march for saftey reasons so im not sure how much notice can be given. If you fancy a dirty weekend in the country contact me here or email me on manybikesdanny at aol ddddoot com

Thanks Danny

That's me booked and paid,should be fun enjojed last year's event

ktmmark, you're not alone! Registrations are coming in fast!

We have about 50 presentations/tech seminars booked already, lots of new ones, and lots of old favourites too.

The whole Meeting Team has been working hard on improvements, and I'm sure you'll enjoy the upgrades and improvements, from more toilets to EARLY opening showers (7am) and another room to hang out in, more vendors, and more room for camping.

You'll also be able to see what's going on MUCH better in the tyre changing demo!

If you haven't registered yet, get in and get it done, you don't want to miss the 10th Anniversary Event!

See you there!

Grant

The provisional timetable should be posted on the website (UK Meetings page) in a week or so but I'll also post a link here for it too.

We are just about full for presenters, a couple of slots Thursday afternoon, Saturday and Sunday morning - We have over 100 shows of varying kinds over the weekend.
Cut off date for applying for a presentation is this week. If you're gonna do it, do it now.

Over 500 folk have registered so far! And still 2 months to go... we are sure to sell out again this year. And more trade space taken than we've had before - its all looking pretty good!

We of course are still looking for a few more volunteers to be part of the team - lots of different tasks - full details from Sam Manicom here
http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/meetings/volunteers/

New for this year will be the bike show on Saturday afternoon - prizes for most stickered, most unsuitable, etc etc... entry is on the day - details at the reg tent.

mm would love to come but as my company has just changed our rota, & i am still waiting for it!
I can then see if i can make it but must admit £50 is going to hurt but would still pay.

Dear all,

I write to say that Barbara and I have now counted up the donations to Motorcycle Outreach from the Travellers Meeting at Lumb Farm and they total £877.12. Together with the £506 from the Enniskillen rally, that makes a grand total of £1,383.12.

On behalf of the Trustees and Directors of Motorcycle Outreach, we’d like to pass on our thanks to all those at both meetings who bought raffle tickets and stickers and helped us raise that impressive amount for Motorcycle Outreach.

We are very grateful for every donation that we receive; because we work directly with local health services, even a little goes a very long way with us, quite literally! £10 will cover the cost of ten healthcare visits by motorcycle to remote villages on the island of Flores in Indonesia, and in each village up to 1,000 people will thus have access to healthcare, medical advice and health education which they would otherwise be denied, due to the difficulty in reaching the remote locations by any other method than by motorcycle.

Anyone wanting to see where the money is spent need only click on http://www.motorcycleoutreach.org/Testimonials.html where there are several stories dictated directly by grateful people who have been helped by Health for All, the project that we support on Flores. Health for All ensure that a small fleet of motorcycles are maintained and made available for use by local doctors, nurses, midwives and other healthcare workers to enable them to get to outlying villages beyond the reach of other means of transport.

And really it is on behalf of those people, in Flores, that we write to thank Horizons Unlimited for your continuing support of Motorcycle Outreach, and to thank each and every one of those HU travellers who came to the Meetings and made a donation.

Our best regards
Barbara Alam & Craig Carey-Clinch
