Iain, question Sir
Hi Iain, I am in the Merchant Navy and have booked and paid for Donnington park for the full weekend, I have been informed that I may have to go on another ship. If this is the case, I may not make the meet, I paid via PayPal, if I cannot be there is the money refundable.
Best regards
Jake.

Smile HU Refunds Policy
Hi Jake,

We do have a refund policy, apologies it's not as prominent as it might be! Here it is:
"HU Events Refund Policy

We know 'stuff happens', and you know we have financial commitments to venues and caterers!
If you're unable to attend an event, please let us know (by e-mail reply to your confirmation e-mail from us) so we don't worry that something has happened to you...
Up to 30 days prior to event start, we will refund all fees in full less a $10 (or €9 or £8) fee for handling and PayPal charges.
Up to 15 days prior to event start, we will refund camping/accommodation and food packages in full less a $10 (or €9 or £8) handling fee. We will apply your registration fee to any subsequent HU event in the year or following year. If you have purchased a t-shirt, let us know your mailing address and we'll send it out.
Within 15 days of the event start, there will be no refunds, but we will apply your registration fee to any subsequent HU event in the year or following year. If you have purchased a t-shirt, let us know your mailing address and we'll send it out."
What that all means for HUBB UK is that you have until 30 days prior to the event to get a refund (less £8 for Paypal and admin costs). After that, we'll happily put your reg fee to any HU event in 2014 or 2015 (Enniskillen or Haggs Bank, for example!) You just let us know when you're registering that you're carrying forward your HUBB UK fee.

Hope that helps, and fingers crossed that you're able to get to Donington!
Cheers,
Susan

Just a quick heads up! New stuff will be going up on the HUBB UK page tonight!

Soon there's going to be info posted about brand new books that are going to be launched at the HUBB UK. And ride out info too! Lovely area.

Over the next weeks you'll also be seeing posts about the different companies who are going to be exhibiting their overlanding kit with us. If you've not seen how amazing the list is yet, do take a look.

Refund info
Hi Susan, Iain,

Thank you both for the quick reply.

I know you have a lot of organising to do and people to pay therefore if I can't make it please don't bother with a refund as I know my money is going to an excelent cause.

Hopefully, if I'm not keeping the sea lanes open I will be able to make it.
Thanks again.
Jake.

Hi All, thought I'd drop in to draw your attention to the latest presenters to sign up for the HUBB UK.

It's brilliant to have Tim Cullis back with us again. His presentations are always entertaining and the information he passes on in them is invaluable. Check him out and you'll see what I mean.

New to the HUBB UK this year are Tom and Richard Seipp. These guys are cyclists and we think will go down a storm.

Bernard Smith is going to be with us too! Brilliant. If you don't know about this story - Touching the World - then make sure you get into his presentation.

The list of people who have signed up to present is fantastic. Thanks everyone.

Have you thought about sharing some knowledge, fun of the road, hints and tips? We want to hear from you if you'd like a go. Inspiring, Informing and Connecting. That's what it's all about

i assume that there is no limit to ticket sales - so no chance of the event selling out? my partner and i are aiming to arrive in england a day or two before the event, by which point we'll have been on the road for 1 1/2 years

however, having traveled for that long, we know how much how plans can change (usually with little to no warning), so are keen to not buy a ticket until the last minute - is there any chance that we'll miss out if we wait?

Hi San Pedro,
One and a half years!! Great stuff. Which route so far?

Totally understand about changes on the road. Too many restrictions and deadlines can hamper the ride can’t they.

Selling out? One of the great things about the Donington venue is that there's stacks of room for us to ‘play’ with. Even if we were getting full by the time you are in the area we’d make space for you for sure. It’d be great to meet you, and you’ll find that you’ll be amongst stacks of friends.

Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.

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.
