Dear Members,
Happy New Year!
I’m pleased to write to you as the new Chair of Southampton Advanced Motorists and introduce myself.
It’s a privilege to take on this role and to follow in the footsteps of those who have worked so hard to promote safe, skilled and responsible driving.
I’ve been a member of the group now for nearly 4 years, joining as an associate with the intention of getting confirmation of what a great driver I was!! It quickly became apparent I had a lot to learn. It was a hard road (excuse the pun) for me on occasion, with consideration to giving up a regular occurrence. But I didn’t, and now am very involved with both Southampton and Bournemouth and District groups and have signed up for my Masters!
That route has now driven me (Sorry) to be passionate about helping other drivers continually improve their knowledge, awareness and confidence on the roads.
I look forward to continue working alongside our dedicated committee, observers and members to build on the club’s strong reputation and support new and experienced drivers alike. Thank you to to the committee members who have stepped down – for the work they’ve done, and congratulations to the committee members that have taken on new roles. Good luck with them. Many, many thanks to those that “tyrelessly”* put so much into their existing roles which keep everything we do in motion.
Please excuse a small recruitment drive: There are always opportunities for anyone willing to join our journey forward with roles as diverse as events organiser, if you have the drive! - or someone to cruise into publicity making a Facebook page the place to be...!
Thank you for the warm welcome I have already received. I am keen to listen to any ideas that we can navigate and explore about any aspect of the group.
Safe travels…!
Yours sincerely and with very best wishes,
Wendy
