Sunday ride to Elveden Courtyard

/0 Comments/in /by

Our next Group rideout is on Sunday 6th August, with Catherine Ryan & Alan Triggs taking riders to Elveden Courtyard near Thetford. The Elveden Estate has passed through wealthy, titled families since its purchase in 1863 by Maharajah Duleep Singh – read more about its history here. 

Departs BP Newmarket Rd, Cambridge. Ends at BP Newmarket.
Catherine outlines her foray into Norfolk:

The 86-mile route takes us south and around Newmarket, then north towards Brandon via Chippenham & Mildenhall. After breakfast we will ride east, crossing Knettishall Heath to Hopton, then turn westwards towards Great Livermere, the Fornhams & the Icknield Way. The ride ends after the long straight through Kentford at BP Newmarket

CAM at the Meldreth Show

/0 Comments/in /by

A heartfelt Thank You from the CAM Committee to the fifteen Members & Associates who were present at the Royston & District Motorcycle Club show in Meldreth on 21st June. Having volunteered to help set out and staff the CAM stand, they spent the evening promoting our mission to potential future members. Special thanks go to Keith Curtis and Andy Saward, who displayed their bikes (a Triumph and a Kawasaki respectively) next to the stand, drawing a good deal of attention from those passing by

The new banners & photo display were impressive, and helped CAM put on what was agreed by all those present to have been the best appearance at the RDMCC show to date. Some 35 bikers indicated interest in receiving further information regarding CAM, or benefitting from a free a taster ride in the near future. The Committee is already following up with those people, as appropriate

RDMCC ask each stand to donate a prize to their charity raffle; CAM offered a free IAM Advanced Rider Course, valued at £175. This was won by Keith Tedstone, who we will likely welcome as a CAM Associate in the near future!

The success of events such as this depends to a very large extent on the active involvement of Members & Associates. The positive impact of CAM’s presence at Meldreth is certainly testament to that. Your The Committee looks forward to receiving the same (or an even greater!) level of involvement for its future events, which will be announced in due course

Editor’s note:
many thanks to Keith Tremeer for the above text, and to our roving photographer Pete Webb for the images in the browsable galleries above
