Welcome to the Northamptonshire Advanced Motorcyclists' Website....
Sunday Meetings and Destinations
The system of booking observed rides and using varied destinations has served us well during Covid restrictions; however, we can now return to more normal operations. Flexibility in selecting destinations has been appreciated by Observers and ride leaders but, on the other hand, all riding to the same destination helps to maintain the Group ethos. With effect from 5 September 2021 (1st Sunday) we will therefore introduce a hybrid system, continuing to meet at the Obelisk at 0900 on Sundays and using the following destinations:
· 1st and 3rd Sunday – round-robin routes returning to the Obelisk. Individual Observers and ride leaders have the option to ride to alternative destinations.
· 2nd Sunday – St Neots.
· 4th Sunday – Leighton Buzzard (Swan Hotel).
· 5th Sunday – group ride for test-passed members.
Associates are no longer required to pre-book observed rides. They should arrive suitably attired, with a full tank of fuel and make it known that they would like to be observed; they will then be paired with an Observer.
Membership Renewals
Members are reminded that, for insurance reasons, current membership of both NAM and IAM RoadSmart (IAMRS) is required to take part in any NAM activities.
· NAM membership is due for all members on 30 April each year – except that anyone who joins after 1 December will have their membership extended until the April after next. Subscription cost is:
o £15 paid if paid by standing order (easiest – you won’t forget) or BACS to Sort Code 30‑96‑09, Account No 01475729.
o £16 by PayPal (includes PayPal fee (click here to pay by PayPal))
Please note – we no longer accept payment by cheque.
· IAMRS membership renewal date varies by individual. Membership can be renewed via your Dashboard on the IAMRS portal https://www.iamroadsmart.com/ or by contacting IAM Support.
To avoid disappointment, and embarrassment all round, please do not turn up expecting a ride unless both memberships are current.
