During January there have been some changes which may be of interest to you.
The Group Chairman and Training Officer have both stood down from their position.
Gordon McCue and David Gomez have stepped in until the AGM in March.

There are number of events being planned for the coming season of 2023, including both skills training workshops and a variety of ride outs.

To all our Associates – as soon as you are ready to brave the elements get in touch with your Observer and arrange some training sessions.

In order to help catch up with the backlog in training which we have at present we are planning to hold a 2 day training event. Over the 2 days those Associates who take part will be able to have 5/6 training sessions with various Observers which should make them all must closer to achieving Test Level.

Also as the weather improves the on-road training should get back into full swing.

2021 – What a Year it has Been!

Over the course of 2021 we have had 50 members sign up to our Group – many more than we had thought possible in our 1st year.

Our Training Team have worked incredibly hard to keep up with the numbers of Associates wanting to undertake training and as a result of their efforts 10 of our Members have already passed their RoSPA Advanced Motorcycle Test as well as a good number who should complete their training early 2022.

2022 – What a Year it Will Be!

We have more Skills Courses already planned as well as Monthly and Summer Evening Rides so check out the Event Page for the dates etc.

More Group Observers will be needed so please have a think about whether it it something you would be interested in once you have gained Silver or Gold on your Advanced Test – if you are interested lat me know – trainingofficer@swar.org.uk

Finally we will be holding our monthly Group meeting on the 2nd Monday of each month so please try and come along to support your Group. The meetings are open to anyone who has an interest in Motorcycling so bring your family and friends along – the more the merrier!

We intend to try and host a number of guest presenters to liven up the meetings – everything from equipment manufactures/sales to intrepid motorcycle adventurers. As well as this entertainment there will be short technical or theory presentations which will try and help explain what is expected of an Advanced Rider.
