greenmanalishi - Sounds like we missed a good one at Cannich this year!?!
Badrakumar - That's a shame that you'll miss the meet again. Must try to catch up in Cannich next year! Norway sounds fun!
mountaincadre & Milimut1 - Thanks for booking in with the campsite and sorting out payment!

Thanks Beej, he was with us on the trip through Europe this year on his borrowed varedero 125, alas someone stole it not long after we got back, although we got it back it isn't back on the road yet.

Scottish Campfire Mini Meet 18th - 20th Oct 2013
Hi Everyone,
Well... it's not long to go now... we've just been looking through the posts and so far it looks like we will be seeing the following HUBBERS on the 18th October @ Pillars of Hercules Campsite!
Beej (Beej n Chris)
Milimut1 (Liz & Mike)
Road kill (Danny)
Dave08 (Dave)
Mountaincadre & Friend
Paul Holburn
Greenmanalishi (Stan)
Road Runner (John)
Dougie B
Adventure950 (Jake)
Alivfr750 (Ali)
Strompet (Debbie & Sean)
A big thank you to those of you who have already booked your camping pitch. We are hoping that Pillars of Hercules will be put at ease by people booking and paying ahead of the meet which will hopefully result in us not having to put down a deposit.
If you are still to book you can do this by phone (01337 857 749), or email (bruce@pillars.co.uk), and quote "HUBB MEET in the Bankings Field" so that they know you are with us! You need to state how many people are coming by bike (£7pppn) or by car (£8pppn), if your staying on Fri night only / Sat night only or BOTH nights and give a contact telephone number. Thank you!
If you know someone else who is planning on coming along then please let us know so we know who to look out for and remember that if you want to get set up in daylight then you'll want to be there by 6-6:30pm!
Looking forward to seeing some old faces and meeting new friends,
Beej n Chris

Beej once again I may have have to let you down I had the wrong dates and thought it was the following weekend and I have arrangements on the 19 that i cant get out of I may be able to get up on the Friday and come back on the Saturday but can't confirm that till probably a day or so before the do due to commitments on the friday that i may or may not wiggle out of. I will try my best to get up though but that is a problem weekend for me. I was looking forward to saddling up Sabboo for his first run out. Jake.

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.
