Despite taking place over one of the (if not 'the') wettest weekends in recent UK history, last years NAM trip to north Wales was a huge hit, and there has been a great deal of interest in repeating the trip (preferably without the water) in 2009.

So for the weekend of 28-31 August 2009, Dave Thornton has booked the same accommodation as last year. If you are interested in a place, please use the following link to view more details, and contact Dave to express your interest.

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.
