Message from the newly elected officers of the Swansea Bay Advanced Motorists.

As of Thursday 29th July 2010, the Swansea Bay Advanced Motorists group has new officers at the helm. Darren Hounsell (chairman), James Ettle (treasurer), and Keith Evans (secretary and training coordinator). They will continue the hard work which was carried out by the previous officers in getting the group back on its feet.

The core objective of the group will continue to be the improvement of driving standards by preparing associates for the I A M test. However, following the discussions in the last meeting, it is felt that as a group we also need to have a more social side. We are taking the opportunity of our summer break to explore the possibility of holding our meetings at a different location which would introduce a more ‘relaxed’ atmosphere to meetings. Our findings will be discussed at the September meeting. Members have also stated that we need to plan more social events. This has been taken on board and it is hoped that a short program of events will be published in due course. Some of the ideas in mind are ‘drive outs’, master classes (with a social element included), and visits to places like car factories etc. To be successful, these events need your support. If you have any ideas, please contact any of the committee.

Our next group meeting will be on Thursday 30th September 2010 @ 7.00 pm in the Trallwn Community centre, Swansea.
