HISTORY

WIMA was started by

Louise Sherbyn, wife of a U.S. Serviceman

in 1950. Pictured above is Shirley, one of

the earliest GB members. Divisions were

gradually started all over the world. Our

members range from those who joined....

some time ago, to bright young things on

modern motor bicycles who take part in....

...ACTIVITIES

ranging from track

days to camping weekends, rides out

pub lunches, cream teas, shows and

rallies. We are a National club and there

are not local groups in all areas, but

new groups are often started; it takes

only a few members in any area. Where

WIMA is unique is that you can make friends all over GB with biking women....

...and MEN?

many of our men come

along on runs & events & support us.

WIMA is for all women, married,

single, gay or straight. We're not

campaigners and we're not anti men.

We're just continuing 60 years of

tradition in having our own corner of

motorcycling where we can talk about

our biking experiences...

.

which range from the everyday run

to extraordinary adventures....

it's all about riding bikes

and making friends.

There is also a Community web site exclusively for WIMA members to post messages, meet and greet and pass on information.

Benefits of membership include a list of recommended businesses in a WIMA handbook, some of which give discounts to members.

The monthly newsletter is sent to all members and contains announcements, plus reports and photos sent in by members .

The aim of WIMA is to support and encourage motorcycling amongst women.
