We thought you guys would like to see this from ShelterBox.
'I just wanted to drop you a line to say a huge THANKYOU for picking ShelterBox as your chosen charity of the year for the HUBB UK event.
The total amount raised at the event was an amazing £4075.67!
We had some great feedback from our volunteers manning the stand who said the attendees at the event were the perfect audience. They were so well travelled they understood the issues faced in other countries and therefore could really engage with what we do here at ShelterBox.
We would be absolutely delighted to work with you again in the future, if the opportunity arises, and once again a massive thank you for nominating ShelterBox as your chosen charity of the year.
Kind Regards
ShelterBox

Hey, I tell you what I'll second that! Anytime before mid-June or after 20th July would be amazing for me.
But dont worry I'm not holding my breath; I assume it will be around the same time again, when most people expect it to be. Perfectly reasonable, just no good for me, alas

Thumbs up
I know its been a while since we all packed up and went home, but I also wanted to add what a FANTASTIC time we had.
Old friends, New friends, great presentations, weather teriffic.
Danny & Fil so pleased you got Mike to do the magic stuff with the pheasant, now he has no excuses when I bring them home.
I want to be there next year but dont think I have enough holiday time as I have other stuff to fit in, but Mike should be there.
A highlight for me was Mike being star struck when purchasing the Ed Marsh DVD, he had to ask someone else to go buy it for him, it was fun seeing him turn that nice shade of pink.
Inspired of course, we did a long 745 mile weekend around the North of Scotland just make sure you fill up with fuel when you can and keep your fingers crossed you find garages open on a Sunday.
See you all at Haggs in September

Hi Everyone,
May we ask for your help. The Feedback Questionnaire. If you've not filled in yours yet, we'd be very grateful if you could crack on and do it before Friday 25th please.
Much of what you saw happening this year at the HUBB UK, the layout, the presentations, the outdoor activities, the exhibitors and how many there were, the price of the  and well, just about everything was influenced by everyone's feedback last year.
The whole point of the HUBB UK is to Inspire, Inform and Connect. You all filling in the feedback helps us do our best to make it the event you would like to have.
A huge thanks to everyone who has completed it to date. Brilliant! Thanks very much

Oh dear - possibly a Senior Moment here, but don't remember seeing a link for it. Has one been posted? 
Thanks

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.
