All Arms Veterans Motorcycle Club

Welcome and thanks for taking time out to visit our Club website.

We are a small club of bikers who are serving or have served in HM Forces UK. We all meet at various Rallies and Parties around the country. Our aim is to have fun and party with like minded people and offer support & camaraderie to other service personnel.

In order to join this club, you have to ride with us; be nominated by your relevant area Rep and its members; attend two out of our three major events in your first year, when you will then receive our club badge. We wear our club badge with pride and honour. This isn't an Internet club. That is, we will never take an application via email and simply mail a set of club badges to you. That's not what this lifestyle, or this club, is all about. If you want to roll with us, you have to be known to us - we have to be comfortable that you are as much family to each and every Brother & Sister that wears our patch.

That's not to say though that if you like what you see in these pages, that you won't be welcome to introduce yourself and get to know us - quite the contrary, actually. You can still contact us through the link at the top of each page. We'll still be glad to meet you and maybe share a round of beer or two. But do not expect to be invited to join through this medium. That's not the way the All Arms Veterans Motorcycle Club attracts its membership.

About the Name and Club badge:-

All Arms Veterans; Quite simply, All Arms means all services within HM Forces. The club logo; First of all the wheel, again to epitomise our love for Motorcycles / Trikes. The Red colour behind is for all our fallen comrades that have lost their lives fighting for what they believe in their Country and Brothers / Sisters. The lightening bolt to signify military association and the colour yellow to signify “Supporting our Armed Forces” as in the International symbol of the yellow ribbon. Last of all the clasped Gauntlets symbolise the Friendship and Honour amongst all our Serving and Ex Serving members of Her Majesty's Armed Forces

Our Motto “Pro Patria” meaning ‘For Country’ for which we have all served proudly.

The Need for Combat Stress in today's world

Since the end of World War 2, the vast majority of the British People have known nothing but peace. But it's been a very different story for the men and women of our armed forces. Time and again, they have been in the front line defending Britain's interests. In Brunei, Borneo, Indonesia, Malaya, the Falklands and the Gulf. More recently, they have played a central peace keeping role in the Balkans, Cambodia, Sierra Leone, Afghanistan and elsewhere. And closer to home, many thousands have been involved during the thirty year long campaign in Northern Ireland, an operation that has perhaps been the most difficult and dangerous of all.

Each of these conflicts, without exception, has resulted in psychiatric casualties. And for many who are affected, the problems may take years, perhaps decades to surface.

The Ex-Services Mental Welfare Society, Combat Stress, exists to serve these men and women. For over 80 years, we have been the only services charity specialising in helping those of all ranks from the Armed Forces and the Merchant Navy suffering from psychological disability as a result of their service.

Through our national network of welfare officers, we visit veterans at home in order to establish how best we can improve their quality of life.

Through our three treatment centres, we provide rehabilitative treatment which aims to help the victim cope with his or her disabilities and to enjoy a better quality of life.

In over 80 years of operation, the Society has provided some 75,000 veterans of the two World Wars and the many conflicts since with a unique lifeline. Currently, the Society takes about 700 veterans onto its books each year, the youngest in their early twenties, the oldest in their nineties. There are people in receipt of help who between them represent service in every campaign which the British Armed services has been engaged from the start of World War 2 to the present day.

We as a miltary motorcycle club have selected Combat Stress as our main Charity for this year. You can donate any amount by following the link on this page to their website. It is something that we as Ex and still serving Servicemen & Women feel very strongly about having seen at close quarters what the effect of these wars are having on our young men and women. So please if you feel the need to donate to a charity then please click on this one.
