Joining...

3 simple steps to IAM and WaBAM membership:

Here's how to sign-up for the IAM Skill for Life programme:

• Contact us in whichever way best suits you.
   
• Complete the IAM Internet application process by clicking on this link. It will take you to an on-line application form which is quick and easy to use, though you will need to register to complete your purchase.

• If you don't like paying over the web, contact us and we will send you a paper form with details of who to make the cheque out to, and where to send it. If you go down this route, please make sure that you mark clearly that you are applying to be an Associate Member of the "Wilts and Bath Advanced Motorcyclists, Group Number 1250".
  

You'll have then joined both the IAM and the Wilts and Bath Advanced Motorcyclists!

When we receive the WaBAM application form, we will place you with one of our Observers as soon as possible. Whilst we have a large number of Observers, the supply is finite especially during the summer months when most riders think about doing this, so we recommend you don't delay. The sooner you join, the sooner we can place you.
