Welcome to the first  edition of Out in Front   for 2012.   Last year we asked  you what you would  like to see on club  nights. Patsy Quick’s  presentation in  January about the  Dakar Rally and her  Adventure Riding  Academy was the first  of the suggestions  which the committee  followed up. More  ideas are always  welcome. Next month we hold  our AGM where you  will have the  opportunity to vote for  a new Chairman, join  the committee and  generally get more  involved with your  club. Please come  along and join in.  Don’t forget to renew  your EKAM  membership (see  centre pages).  We wish all our  readers a happy New  Year with plenty of  safe, advanced biking.  In this issue December Club Night: Spencer Conway—African Odyssey Slow Riding Skills courses It’s all in the timing Annual General Meeting Candidates for Chair Letters to the Editor Club News: test passes, welcome Membership Renewal Forms (from main website) Club News EKAM: a tribute What’s On in 2012 View from the Pillion Seat January Club Night: Patsy Quick—Desert Rose IAM: Observer Qualifications IAM: Bus Lane Warning Regalia / EA application /EKAM Observers / Clothing Your Committee Club Address & contacts Tailpipe The views expressed in this newsletter are not necessarily those of the editor, the committee, the EKAM, or the Institute of Advanced Motorists.
