We are delighted to announce that Kamran Irani has passed his training to the high standard of National Observer, and that Greg McColl has qualified as a Local Observer. Many congratulations both.
Thought about a tour of Spain? In July, Gary & Irene caught the Plymouth to Santander Ferry for their 2 week holiday. This was their 6th trip to Spain and Portugal on the bike. (Read more about why they find it such a great biking destination...).
Last Sunday Gary (Chairman), Sandy Read (a major ingredient to the result), Andy Downs, Andy Chilton, Roland, Graham, and last but not least Yvonne all carried out some sterling recruitment work on behalf of CCAM, by not only flying the flag and reminding the biking fraternity that we exist (Read and see more...)
A big thanks to the 'Magnificent Seven' who turned up on the morning to the make the day a success. All in all a great laugh, lovely scenery along the Long Mynde and Clee Hill (Read and see more...)

Following on from a trip to Normandy last year, a couple of C-CAM members took a short trip to France and Belgium (and Luxembourg) to see what historical sites remained from the First World War and to visit part of the Maginot line. The following is a short description of the trip (Read more...).
Watch this space. Or more precisely the space towards the top left where the event links are. Or waste an afternoon watching the scrolling text scroll.
Bike Seal is a product that slows down and reduces the dramatic effects that can occur when any motorist gets a puncture, normally
at the wrong place and the wrong time - damned frustrating. It's a product that has been, over many years and with a proven track record,
used in all types of tyres - yes cars and trucks as well as motorcycles. It really can make a difference to your overall safety.

CCAM had a stand at the Prescott Hill Climb event on 17th April, where we attracted quite a bit of attention and
some new members.
There are some snaps in the gallery if you'd like to take a look.
8 of us kicked off from Longford with the morning dry, bright and looking good. Coursing a slightly 'off piste' route through the
forest (well what did you expect), we eventually descended down to river level at Redbrook with everyone still intact and
following...good eh! (Read more...)
A great sadness and a sense of missed opportunity. Well at least it is for the rest of the membership that can only read about it!
For 22 of us in attendance at last Sunday's (20th March) ride out into Wales, the official first ride into spring was
undoubtedly, a great success in all aspects. (Read more...)
Cheltenham & Cotswolds Advanced Motorcyclists...deliver the goods. Yes a CCAM motely crew braved the 'salty season' and low
temperature to present a cheque for funds raised to the tune of £750.00, quite a remarkable achievement, and all down to
the big hearts of us all...your club. WELL DONE!
Not only were we able to get a photo session in with the helicopter (good fortune for all...and the public!) but also the crew of
the day made the time to give us a very comprehensive 'look see' of the aircraft and its current equipment level. A very nice hot
cuppa and biscuit followed before the station went into full alert, with the aircraft taking to the skys before our very eyes...indeed
an added bonus for us, but perhaps quitely wishing it was not needed at all.
A very Big thanks to Dave & Cherill Preece who organised the whole thing, and of course the members in attendance on the day to
make it special. Click on each of the below to see a bigger version,

C-CAM members attended the BMW model launch at Cotswold Motorrad over the weekend of 6-7 February as the first recruitment event of the
year.
Our aim was to promote the group and our events at Prescott and our free rider skills morning on May 15th. There was
significant interest in the group and our activities with three new members joining at the event. Thanks to all of the group
members supporting the weekend and to those people who dropped in to talk to us.
The first ride out of the season, to Annie's Team room. Click on each to see a bigger version,

If, like me, you need to write things down or you forget them, a calendar becomes essential. For the last couple of years C-CAM
has not produced a calendar (due to costs and numbers required to be printed).
HOWEVER - ALL IS NOT LOST; Midlands Air Ambulance have produced a bike related calendar (with photos from bike meets), I purchased
a copy from Frasers for a very reasonable £10 (I am sure that it is also available elsewhere) - with all profits going to the
Midlands Air Ambulance charity. So why not support C-CAMs charity and get yourself a copy?
