4th Northern HU Mini-Meet
After a great 3rd Meet, what about number 4?
Before Easter I'm free 17/18March and 24/25March.
After Easter I'm free 28/29April, 5/6 May (7th is Bank Hol Monday) and 12/13May.
Maybe at Blakey Ridge again? The publican there seemed to know how to make people feel welcome.
Any comments on dates, venues?
Cheers
Chris

No. 4
Number 4 is an excellent idea but one I can't take you up on because the dates clash with my work.

April is probably better for me - after that stuff gets tight with holidays, work load etc etc.

Hiya
Can't do last weekend in April (any other weekends are ok) but will keep an eye on thread. If don't see you all then, hopefully see you all at Derby meet.

I will fit in with everyone else if I can - seems like end of march is looking good for most. Pete If you can set it up once a date is agreed that would be great - as I am snowed under (Literally as well as really) with work at this time, as well as one or two things going on with my family etc. Just let me know the dates and I should be there. Jake.

Looking at the response so far the best date appears to be 24,25 march if we are all agreed should we call that a provisional date and I will contact the pub and sort out a meeting so we all have something definite to work to Jake.

24/25 March
Hi Jake and everybody
Like you said, 24/25 March seems to be good for most people. I was just speaking to Peter Surtees who originally couldn't make it then, but his plans have changed, so that weekend is ok for him too.
If people haven't made alternative suggestions, maybe it can be assumed that they are fine with whatever is chosen.
So unless there are any last minute objections.... Let's go for 24/25 March (and even Fri 23rd March for all rufty tufty types ).
Jake: Will you talk to the pub?
Cheers
Chris

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.
