We are delighted to announce that Martin Munday, one of the IAM Examiners who conducts Advanced Rider tests for CAM, will be present at our Members & Associates evening on Thursday 17th October at 7.30pm at Over Community Centre. His Q&A Meet the Examiner session will be preceded by the launch of CAM’s all-new Members Map. We will also 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.

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
Meet the Examiner is an opportunity for Associates to meet Martin, find out how the Advanced Rider test is conducted and what he will be looking for during it… and to dispel any myths or preconceived ideas which could work to the disadvantage of test candidates
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
Please use this link if you would like to attend. Martin is keen to address the matters of concern to you, so please let us know in your message if there’s a particular question you’d like answered or topic you’d like him to address

Motorcycle Live 2024 (visit confirmed)
2024-11-21 08:00 - 18:00 | Birmingham NEC, Birmingham, B40 1NT
In previous years Keith Tremeer has led outings to Motorcycle Live at Birmingham’s NEC. Keith can’t make it this time around, but Roger Taylor has stepped forward and proposes leading a ride (limited to a maximum of 8 bikes) on Thursday 21st November for a tour around Motorcycle Live 2024.
Admittedly not everyone wants to ride in November, but if the weather is kind on the day it should be a splendid journey on the way there. Roger’s planning is still in the early stages, but he will avoid motorways on the way to Birmingham and will include a breakfast stop. The return journey, which is likely to be at least in part after sunset, will use a more direct route

CANCELLED - CAM ride-in and Toy Run
2024-12-08 | Madingley Park & Ride, Madingley Road, Cambridge, CB3 0EU
Given the tempestuous weather, and following advice from Cambridgeshire Constabulary (who provide a safety escort for the ride), the organizers of the Cambridge Bikers Christmas Toy Run have reluctantly taken the decision that the ride will NOT take place on Sunday 8th December as had been planned. The CAM ride-in, which was scheduled for 8:30am, is also now CANCELLED
It’s obvious disappointing that this is the second year running that the Grinch has stolen the Christmas Toy Run. However, when this happened last year the event was rescheduled to Easter, making for a colourful and well-attended replacement. We’ll keep you posted on any updates we spot in the New Year

POSTPONED - Members Evening with Helite
2025-01-16 07:30 - 21:30 | * Postponed *
SORRY – this event has been postponed until April
We kick off our 2025 social calendar on Thursday 16th January with a presentation by Peter Riley from Helite UK, the premier manufacturer of motorcycle airbags. This Members Evening takes place at the customary venue: Over Community Centre, starting at 7:30pm
Helite was founded in 2002 in Dijon, France by Gérard Thévenot, an engineer specialising in fluid mechanics and a passionate fan of light aeronautics. Thévenot wanted to create personal protective equipment for high-risk sports by offering airbags adapted to the needs of motorcyclists, horse riders & cyclists. The high accident rate in these pursuits led to the first patent for personal protection airbags.
We will learn in detail about how the airbag system works, which parts of your body are protected, how long it takes to inflate and what it is like to ride with an airbag. There will also be guidance on choosing the most appropriate model from the range.
We’ve allowed time for a Q&A session – so please come armed with your questions! If you already own a motorcycle airbag, please do consider attending so you can share your experience with your fellow CAM members.
You are welcome to bring guests – please assist with the room booking and seating arrangements by emailing us at events@cambsiam.org.uk if you plan on attending!
