For our final Members Evening of the year we’re delighted to be welcome George from Ultimate Hearing Protection Systems. George will be talking to us about the Ultimate’s range of custom-made moulded earplugs, designed to be worn comfortably under a motorcycle helmet for long periods. The company was founded in 2001 by Dave Marshall, a biker looking to create the highest quality hearing protection system for motorcyclists. Ultimate’s CE marked products are made from anti-microbial medical grade silicone, and their client list includes police forces, Formula 1 racing teams and fire & ambulance services

Sticking firmly to tradition, our Members Evening is being held at Over Community Centre: with ample parking, a licensed bar & their seminar room at our disposal, this is a great venue to meet members of the CAM Committee, socialize with your fellow bikers and catch up with old friends. Members, Associates and their guests are welcome – but to assist with planning, please send Catherine and Nigel an email if you plan on attending
