Test Passes:
Congratulations to Andrew Chatterton who got a F1RST
We now have fifty fsix IAM F1RST passes in the Bolton & District Group since the F1RST award was introduced.
Congratulations on your achievement and we hope you will enjoy your driving and continue to support the Bolton & District Group for many years to come.
Your next challenge is to maintain (and build on) the skills you have achieved during your course.
National Observer:
Congratulations to IMI National Observer Passes
We offer our congratulations to the following who have recently taken their National Observer Assessments and passed; Mark Broadfoot, Mark Newton, Jim Pickard, Tom Pritchard and Paul Valentine.
We now have a full complement of National Observers in the Bolton Group and are ‘leading the way’ in our region of IAM RoadSmart in completing conversions from Local Observer status to National Observer.
This follows many months of training, both classroom and driving assessments, and we are delighted with your success and proud of the results. We now have an additional five National Observers on the books, with the possibility of two more interested and who will soon be starting training.
This his places the Bolton and District Group in a strong position with fifteen National Observers and we intend to celebrate this success. This includes three of our current National Observers who recently took their N.O. five yearly reassessment. Geoff Baker, Dougie Phillips and David Wilkinson all completed their assessment and passed without issue.
Many congratulations to you all on these fantastic achievements and thank you for ensuring the continued and future success of the Bolton and District Group.
It will help if you buy a badge for the front of your car – it will give you a ‘conscience’ to drive behind! Also one of the Bolton Group window badges helps to advertise the Bolton Group. Please speak to Chris Knowles.
