Solent Sunday is our regular monthly social gathering for all IAM RoadSmart Solent Members and Associates, with free taster rides for members of the Public.
Please come along and support this event!
Join us for a leisurely brunch - there’ll be the usual selection of cooked breakfast goodies; bacon, sausages, eggs and for our vegan/vegetarian customers, mushrooms. All available on a choice of white or brown rolls!
If you don’t fancy breakfast, then why not come along and chat over a cup of tea or coffee, with a choice of normal or decaf, and maybe a few alternative teas?
Tea and coffee are free.
We will have a selection of IAM RoadSmart Solent branded merchandise available for you to purchase, and we can now take credit /debit card payments!!
Southampton Advanced Drivers
In the spirit of cooperation and collaboration, we are sharing space at Otterbourne with the Southampton Advanced Drivers group! The car group have a table with us in the main hall, and we have the use of the Bianchi Suite for our Solent Sunday extra activities.
Associate Induction
We will be running an induction session for any new Associates or Members who have joined during previous months.
If you’re not quite sure how the IAM and IAM RoadSmart Solent are linked, or how the training sessions will be run, or perhaps you’re not aware that there is a social side of the Group … anything that is on offer over and above improving your riding skills.
The induction sessions will set out to answer these types of questions, and to encourage new joiners to play an active part in their Group. These are open sessions with no topics off-limits; they are run in a relaxed, informal manner to encourage questions and discussion along the lines of ‘what have I bought?’ … ‘how will training be managed?’ … ‘what else does IAM RoadSmart Solent have to offer me?’.
Tip Top Motorcycle Tours
We will be joined this month by Jez and Ed of Tip Top Motorcycle Tours.
Tip Top Tours is a local business and was formed last year in 2025 by 3 friends who have been running tours for family and friends for years.
In their own words:
At Tip Top Tours, we’re passionate about creating unforgettable journeys and believe the journey should be as rewarding as the destination. Behind the handlebars are three seasoned riders who turned their love for the open road into a touring experience like no other.
With this team at the helm, you’re guaranteed a ride that’s safe, smooth, and full of stories worth sharing.

Bring & Buy
We will have the Bring & Buy table set up.
Why not have a look thorough the garage, shed, cupboards or anywhere else that you put things for “safe keeping” and have a clear-out.
If you’ve got nothing to bring, then come along and browse the selection of wares; you may find a bargain or two and, while you’re browsing you can tuck into a selection of breakfast fare from the kitchen.
The rules are simple:
Items must be clean, in good condition and suitable for resale.
The seller is to provide a piece of paper, detailing the item and the price.
The contract is between the seller and the buyer. IAM RoadSmart Solent’s only involvement is providing the venue.
There is no cost for selling an item but, if you are feeling generous, then we are sure that a local charity would accept a donation from the proceeds.
Say hello to your hosts
Our hosts will be wandering around the site in their fetching blue hi-vis vests to meet and welcome everyone. Please say hi to these wonderful people when you arrive!
A selection of IAM RoadSmart branded merchandise will be available for purchase
(credit/debit cards accepted).
Times: 09:30 - 12:00
