Edinburgh pub meet - 3rd Feb
Hey all,
Just a last-minute note in case there's anyone around in Edinburgh who isn't on the community mailing list.
A (so far, very) small gathering is planned for 8pm onwards at the Cask & Barrel on Broughton Street, this Thursday 3rd.
If you get a chance please PM me if you can make it.
Cheers
Laura

Hey
Will there be any meetings in Edinburgh again any time soon? I work at sea and could not make it last time.
Regards
Gary

Hey 'New Biker'
Recommend one..! Try to make it central, not too noisy, easy to get to and not £4squillion quid a pint.
I often miss them as I'm abroad often but like to hit them at the drop of a hat!

Hey 'Geoffshing'
I may well do that, although I am from Dundee and don't know Edinburgh overly well. I do joing my ships in leith every 3 weeks though.
Do I just post a new thread for it?

Click on the community page and click for Scotland (and or Edinburgh) and send a message to throw in a recommendation. Give it a week or so and see who's about. explain you lack of knowledge about Edinburgh (or wherever) and see where the common meeting points are..... the Blue Blazer was the last one.
Edinburgh is easy.. there's horseless carriages you have to watch out for and even electricity..! But them street lights are the devils work..! LOL!!
Not sure when I'm back (in Iraq at mo!) but if I'm around then I'll happily have a or two.

I`d be up for a wee pint sometime in the next two weeks or so, before I hit offshore again.

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.
