Yes it's that time of year, no really, time to organise the Christmas do.

Louise has kindly offered to do the organsing but she needs your help. The party will be at the Wheatsheaf, our normal meeting place, date to be confirmed but in December. We can have a sit down meal for 80 or a buffet for 150, we'll have a disco and possibly a band.

The price of the tickets will be about £20 - £25 but Louise needs to have an idea of the numbers so if you intend to come along can you let her know how many ticket you need by emailing her using the following email address.

Suggested IAM Group letter to elected members.pdf (24KB PDF† file).

Some riders have been members of the IAM for many years and it is often some time since they passed their advanced motorcycle test.

With this in mind the Training Group is offering any NAM member in this position the opportunity to undertake an observed ride at any time with a senior observer to ensure that their skill level has not deteriorated.

So if you would like confirmation that you are still “up to the mark” contact a member of the Training Group (either directly or via our contact us page) and arrange an observed ride.

Cost is £10.00 just like any other observed ride.
