Portugal 2004: Second Annual HU Travellers Meeting

Góis, Portugal, September 24-26, 2004

Meeting Report and photos

We had a good turnout, with folks from several Europena countries coming, and I was there as well, holding up the Canadian flag! The Portugese naturally had the biggest turnout, with the Brits a strong second, also Spain, Germany and Malaysia.

A big Thank You to António Caldeira, our ever-helpful local host, for all his hard work and late nights making sure everything was ready and working, he did a great job, and thanks to him again for driving me to and from the airport.

• Ernesto Brochado, India
• Tito Baião and João Pedro, from Luanda to Oporto helping to create new school library for children.
• Linda Bootherstone, to Ukraine
• António Brás, Books to Mozambique 
• Carlos Azevedo, to Mauritania
• Also a special thanks to Filipe Elias for his GPS presentation and very generous donation of a GPS as a door prize!

We are currently planning to have next year's event  either at the same location  or possibly in Oporto, but are open to new venues. If you know of a location you think might be suitable, please let us know.  We need camping, food and a Presentation room, within walking distance of each other, preferably on the same grounds.

There is a writeup on the 2004 Meeting with photos published in the "best known and largest circulation motorcycle magazine Moto Jornal... www.fnm.pt/fnm/artigo.asp?cod_artigo=107698 of the Portuguese Motorcycle Federation."
