About Our Group

Having formed in 1996 we now have a membership of around 70 people of all ages. We hold Members meetings every two months which include guest speakers who give presentations on driving related topics, as well as other areas of interest. We have a dedicated team of Volunteers who run the Group Committee and Observers who coach the Advanced Driving Course to our new Associates.

Our area covers: RG7, RG8, RG14, RG17, RG18, RG19, RG20, RG31, SN7, SN8, SP9, SP10, SP11.

Our Observers

Without our Observers we could not provide the necessary training for our associates. Our Observers, having passed their Advanced Driving Test, decided to take on the challenge and to freely give their time to the development of others. Below are the Active Observers, without which we could not run the group.

  • Dick Bird
  • Adrian Bishop
  • Ben Cunningham
  • Ian Dews
  • Dan Coppin
  • Catherine Lloyd
  • William Macphee
