The KAMG Group Night Welcome Table
- partners welcome!
Do you sometimes feel a bit of an ‘outsider’ at Group nights, especially if there’s no-one you recognise when you get there? Whether you're a newcomer or you’ve been a member for years, join Matt Pounds and Paul Chambers at the Welcome Table - at the back of the room with a red table cloth. Come and say hi and stay for a chat. This month we have three partners as hosts, specifically to make members' spouses feel welcomed by chatting and introducing them to other newcomers.

Autumn is here
Gone are the lovely warm, dry riding days of Summer - but most of us ride all year round. Of course, extra care needs to be taken - here are a few riding and bike-care tips put together by Bennetts Insurance, who of course have an interest in us all staying shiny side up!
