Club nights provide an opportunity to
meet and socialise with other like
minded biking enthusiasts. Talks and
presentations are organised throughout the year on subjects varying from
tyre technology to demonstrations by Paramedics. Guest speakers in the
past have included John Surtees, Jamie Whitham, Terry Rymer, Patsy
Quick and Paul Smart. All the above events are advertised on club nights, in
the club magazine and here on the website.
Meetings are usually held on the third Wednesday of each month at:
Sandyacres Sports and Social Club
Sandyhurst Lane,
Ashford. TN25 4PE
01233 627373
The Club also arranges a number of group runs that are open to all members, the venues and
nature of which vary according to demand but we try to include a balanced choice. You will find
these an excellent opportunity to discreetly hone your riding skills and to pass on any bad
habits you may have to others! For those who would like to explore their machines capabilities
(and in some cases their own) track days are occasionally arranged at a local racing circuit.
Members and Associates also meet up for a "Sunday Social Meet" at 9:30 a.m. on the Sunday
following club night. The venue for this social gathering is Halford's Car Park, Simone Weil
Avenue, Ashford. These regular gatherings offer the opportunity for non-members to find out a
bit of what the club is about though they are not permitted to take part in organised activities.
Membership of the EKAM entitles you to participate in all club activities and meetings. Initial
membership is as an 'associate' member. The only prerequisite to joining is that you must hold
a full motorcycle licence. Full membership is attained when you pass the IAM advanced
motorcycle test, thus achieving one of the primary aims of the club.
The club is fortunate to be well supported by a number of local motorcycle dealers who, in
addition to offering some discount to club members, also visit with a variety of demonstrator
machines or hold open evenings just for club members. It is normal practice, though, to only
allow full members to take their machines out on the road and you must be in possession of
your driver's licence.
