Hi Iain,

well I've just booked and paid.

Am I the first this year to do so?

Regards

Reggie

Thanks Reggie - just seen it come through.

The first one was at 7.15 this morning, but getting in on the first day still deserves endless good karma :)

Hi Iain,

well that's good enough for me matey!

Regards

Reggie

Yeah! I've never been first before! If I get a photo in the HU calendar, I'm buying a lottery ticket! :D

I missed this year through work, so I'm really looking forward to going. The info so far looks good . . . :thumbup1:

Was going to attend this event this year,not anymore.

Off to a Great Start
 

I just wanted to post a quick 'thank you' to everyone who showed their enthusiasm and encouragement for the new event yesterday.

The flood of response from people pre-registering and volunteering throughout the day was fantastic to see and we're humbled by the generosity of donations being made to Prostate Cancer UK - so huge thanks to you all.

Kudos to Les Madge from Traveldri-Plus for being the first trade stand to confirm a booking for the Adventure Travel Zone, and to Kev Palmer and Ruth Bennett from Woodland Ways who're going to be in the HUBB Zone.

Thanks also for the positive feedback about the look of the event pages, the new event format, and the invaluable help with spreading the word via Facebook, Twitter and elsewhere. All really very much appreciated.

And another pre-registration has just come in from a guy in the Netherlands...

:)

Q: So who is the event actually aimed at?
A: HUBB UK is an event for overland adventure travellers, regardless of their vehicle choice. It's for motorcyclists, cyclists and drivers of any kind of expedition vehicle whether 4x4 or otherwise.


The Logo/Favicon suggests it is for motorcyclists- will this change also?

I believe it will change the meeting- but for worse or better, I do not know....so I'm booked in!

The HU logo (the globe with Grant and Susan riding round it) isn't changing. The HUBB UK logo is specific to the new event in the way it represents motorcycles, bicycles and expedition vehicles.

A very positive change is certainly the intention. :)

Glad to hear you're planning on coming. When you say "booked in"... have you pre-registered? I don't think we received anything.

Yes- early registration- my wife & I, paid by Paypal tuesday - check under the setee, it may have slipped down!- was I on the first day ?

Could you confirm either way please Iain- thanks

My apologies Rod - I've found it now :)

All sorted. Thanks again.

(I've removed the paypal links from your message by the way - just for security purposes)

thanks Iain- were we one of the first?

You were indeed. 6th and 9th to be exact :)

I plan to attend my first event and after reading negative comments about Lumb Farm I am glad it has been moved - is the camping a free for all at Donnington or is it divided up into motorcycles, cyclists, 4 wheelers etc?

Shall be pre-registering once my I have clarified how many others are coming with me.

Do you need to be a paid HU member? And what are the chest sizes for the synthetic tshirts?

Fantastic! :)

It'll basically be a free-for-all as we're really keen for everyone to mix together as fellow travellers. That being said, the hardstanding pitches will naturally get used by 4-wheeled vehicles. We'll have a separate area for dog-owners and we'll designate an area as the "quieter" zone.

No, not at all. However, if you're interested in becoming an HU member there's a membership option on the pre-registration form.

All the t-shirts are "standard UK mens' sizes", which I understand are approximately as follows:

S = 36"-38"
M = 38"-40"
L = 40"-42"
XL = 42"-44"
XXL = 44"-46"
XXXL = 46"-48"

Gentleman!! Thank you very much - see you there jeiger
