Dunedin Chapter Events

Event Statement for Chapter Web Sites  Chapter activities are conducted primarily for the benefit of H.O.G. chapter members. There are three categories of activities, identified as follows: Member events are events that are open only to H.O.G. members; Open events are those chapter events which are open to chapter members, national H.O.G. members and other guests as desired; Closed events are those chapter events which are open to chapter members and one guest per member. If you are interested in becoming a H.O.G. chapter member, contact the Director.

NOTE - The events below (apart from the rallies) are generally 'closed events' for Dunedin Chapter members only. However, any non Dunedin Chapter member who wishes to attend an event should contact the Director or Assistant Director prior to attending.

There are many other HOG events and rallies, details of which can be found in the HOG News. I have listed below our own events, and a few rallies that are favourites of Dunedin Chapter members. For the rallies, group departures from our dealership can be arranged with a choice of departure times if possible. There will also be meet-up points en route for rallies and ride-outs as appropriate. If anybody wants to arrange any pre ride-out meeting points let me know, e.g. McDonald's for the Fifers etc. If any Chapter Member has an event that they are going to, or a journey they are undertaking, and they want some company, just email me and I'll promote it here.
