Whether
you are new to biking, have years of experience or are a born again biker, you
can be sure of a warm welcome at CWAM. The best way to join is to contact the
Membership
Secretary then come down to the Jaguar Sports & Social Club on a Sunday morning
to meet us and have a Free
Assessment Ride. (We meet on the 2nd & 4th Sundays in the month except
for Bank Holiday Weekends & Christmas). Unless you have already passed the IAM
Advanced Motorcycle
Test, you will enrol as an Associate Member. If
Sunday's are difficult for you, just tell us when you make
contact and alternative times will be arranged to suit your requirements.
Skill for Life
Following the Assessment
Ride, if you think CWAM is for you, purchase a
"Skill for Life" package or better still, suggest it as a birthday or
Christmas present. It provides everything you need to pass your Advanced
Motorcycling Test and as at 1st February 2008, only costs £109
but this may be
made in two instalments, £49 upon joining and a further payment of
£65 as the test approaches. There is a £20 discount for those 25 and
under reducing the cost to £89.
