This page lists our events which include:

  • Group Meetings for all members of the IAM, BADAM group and associates
  • Social events and visits - everyone welcome
  • Group promotion activities - volunteers are invited to man our public relations / display stand at outdoor public events

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. A map can be found HERE courtesy of Multimap.
