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

We are delighted to welcome IAM Examiner Martin Munday, to our Members Evening next Thursday 17 at Over Community Centre. Following a short presentation unveiling our new Members Map, Martin will be offering a Q&A session where Associates can find out how the Advanced Rider test is conducted and what the Examiner is looking for during it. Members Evening is also an opportunity to celebrate successes in the Advanced Rider test with presentations to our newest full Members

Martin Munday was an officer in the Metropolitan Police for 31 years. He served in Traffic Division for 10 years, attaining Advanced Class 1 classification on both cars & motorcycles. He spent 15 years in the Special Escort Group, providing high-profile escorts for the royal family, government officials and visiting heads of state. The Special Escort Group also delivers armed car escorts for high value materials and high-risk prisoners

Martin has been a member of the IAM since 1997. He became a National Observer for both cars and motorcycles in 2017, has been an Advanced Car Examiner since 2020 and an Advanced Motorcycle Examiner since 2021

While the Q&A session is primarily aimed at Associates, this event is open to all and Martin suggests that any Observers present may well pick up useful insights which they can incorporate into their training programs. Full Members are of course welcome, especially those who have recently passed the Advanced Rider test and may be able to share their experience

Everyone on a group ride benefits from understanding the lead & tail roles and the guidelines which ensure outings are both safe & enjoyable. With that in mind, all Members & Associates are invited to the final Ride Leader & Tail-Ender training session of the year, which Barry Dickinson leads on September 7th. No experience of group-riding is required, and you don’t have to be interested in leading/rides to attend. You can even join us just for the afternoon’s on-road outing – if you haven’t yet been on one of our rideouts this will make a great introduction!

Saturday 7th September  ::  Over Community Centre  ::  RL&TE training

Who can attend?
All Members & Associates are welcome *
   * Associates require Observer confirmation that their riding is at a suitable standard

Does this commit me to joining RL&TE team?
No – you can come along just for the fun and to improve your group riding!

Can I turn up just for the Group ride at the end of the training session?
Yes – we encourage both Associates & Members to join us for the practical ride-out session from 3 to 4pm. Please indicate when you request your place if you only wish to join the rideout part of the training Read more
