The Group is comprised of a committee, members and associates, each committee member having a clearly defined role. A few of the roles undertaken by committee members and some ordinary members are outlined below.
| The Host |
The role of the host is to welcome new members to the group and
to give information and advice to new associates wishing to take
the advanced driving test. |
| The Observers |
All observers have passed the IAM test and are volunteers who give their time for no reward, other than the satisfaction of seeing their associate pass the IAM test and become an advanced driver. By submitting yourself for IAM testing, you are in all probability of a pretty good standard already, requiring more attention to fine detail rather than full training. observers assess your driving and then guide you towards the IAM test standard. They would not presume to instruct you, but rather to offer you the benefit of their own experiences. A senior observer will accompany you on a special guidance
run when your usual observer feels that you have attained test standard. |
| Chief Observer | Overall purpose of the post is to oversee all observer and associate training. Main duties and responsibilities are to develop
an observer training strategy for the group in conjunction with
the senior observers. This includes organising
observer training days, and checking national
and group guidelines are being adhered to by observers. |
| The Group Shop Controller | Responsible for the running
of the group shop, which carries a range of driving related merchandise
and is available at the monthly meetings. |
| Newsletter Editor |
The editor is responsible for producing the quarterly
group newsletter. Full details of meetings, together with any guest speakers, and special events are also included. |
