Chris Gilbert at Swindon IAM 4th November 2009

Swindon & District Group of Advanced Motorists-Group No: 1060

Affiliated to The Institute of Advanced Motorists

A DATE FOR YOUR DIARY!!

Group Meeting at Blunsdon House Hotel on Wednesday November 4th at 7.30pm

I have managed to obtain the services of Chris Gilbert, (Roadcraft/Hendon), as our Speaker for the above meeting. As most of you know, Chris is a very prolific and entertaining speaker who, from my experience, encourages enthusiasm. Chris played a very big part many years ago in helping me determine how far I wanted to be involved with Advanced Driving and he was indeed a great mentor for me and I will always be grateful for that!

His talk will be for about 2 hours with a break half way through and will cover as much as possible about his Driving History, Roadcraft and the principles within it and also some information about “Response Driving”.

His”Ultimate Driving Craft” DVD will be available at a reduced price for the night so it will be worth coming along to take advantage of that offer.

Obviously Chris has a fair way to travel to speak to us and we need to cover the costs involved in obtaining speakers like Chris so please, do yourselves a great favour and come along to take advantage of his talk and go away enlightened with the fact that you will possess more knowledge than you came in with.

I have been to a considerable number of Chris’s talks and I have learned from each of them. I have never been bored and I could easily have sat there until the dawn. Each talk has something different!

So please make the effort to back up your Committee and fellow members. I would like to ask you to try to obtain any support you can from anyone who may be interested in coming along.

Make a note of those questions you always wanted to ask!!!!

Looking forward to your attendance and support.

Chris Gleed. MAIRSO.
