Thumbs up UK 2011 Spring Travellers Meeting, Ripley, Derbyshire
The 11th Horizons Unlimited Motorcycle Travellers Meeting, Lumb Farm, Ripley, Derbyshire, UK
Thursday June 23 - Sunday June 26, 2011

If you were there last year you know why it's THE event of the year for anyone interested in motorcycle travel!

We are also now accepting applications from presenters for putting on a show, it can be on any bike related travelling topic. Last year we had our most diverse range of topics ever, with some fantastic shows and knowledgeable talks. To help planning the event we need your application forms in early please!

For some more ideas on what YOU COULD present, see last years UK Meeting.

We are also looking for volunteers as usual! We had an amazing crew last year doing a huge range of activities - gate - registration - I.T. - recycling etc, as well as helping with some cooking skills too, to help with Danny's 'Roadkill Cookout Demonstration'.
It takes over 60 volunteers to put on the meeting and we can always use a few more. When you register for the event you'll have an opportunity to volunteer, and we'd greatly appreciate it if you'd help out for just a few hours. It's a GREAT way to meet people too!
We look forward to seeing you there!

Grant and Susan
and to all the people that make the event possible - our thanks to you all!

Hi all, just want to follow up on Susan's comment about volunteers. We are still short of helping hands so if you fancy a go, please do get in touch. If you've not signed up to help out yet, just fill in the form when you register or fill out the volunteer form if you've registered already.

We are still short of people to help out on the Gate Crew, Registration (helps if you've been before) First Aid (need to be a Doc, Nurse or a Qualified First Aider) and it'd be great to have some more helpers for the Raffle Ticket Crew. We are raising loot for Motorcycle Outreach Motorcycle Outreach

For most of the crews it matter not a jot if you've never been before. You just need to be up for helping out for a few hours, and as Susan says, it's a great way to meet people.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
Cheers,
Sam

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.
