Are we CAMWEST, CAMWest, Camwest or what?
There has been a wide variety of spellings of CAMWEST over recent times, including CAMWest in Push On, and Camwest in many documents. Here is a letter from our founder Ian Macindoe, sent back in 2006:

It has always been CAMWEST as far as I'm concerned, although some members keep using other formulations (for reasons that are always a mystery to me). As an acronym it makes sense to write it in full as Cyclists' Action Movement WEST which, when one takes the first letter of the first three words, gives CAM and then add WEST to get CAMWEST. This has been our traditional name and acronym and, in my view, looks better than camWEST, CAMwest, or any other combination of letters.

So I think that's quite clear; if Ian says we're CAMWEST, then for me, that is the way I will spell our name.
