Group Meetings
The
Group's monthly meetings are based around the principles of safe
driving - they are for the preparation of those taking the IAM Advanced
Test (Associates) and for the maintenance of driving skills of all
group members. The general public are cordially invited to attend any
of the meetings except the AGM.
From time to time there may be a guest speaker covering
driving topics or matters of general interest to the motorist.
We do make new members and guests very welcome, and introduce
you to members and committee - just make it known that you are new when
you arrive at the door. Refreshments are available for 20p during the
break.
Group Meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month as shown below, at Wessex Water HQ. Claverton Down Road. The meetings commence at 1930hrs., sharp.
