Joining...
3 simple steps to IAM and MAM membership:
Here's how to sign-up for the IAM Skill for Life programme:
- If you don't like paying over the web, contact us and we will send you a
paper form with details of who to make the cheque out to, and where to send
it. If you go down this route, please make sure that you mark clearly that
you are applying to be an Associate Member of the "Melksham & District Advanced Motorists, Group No: 1198 ".
You'll have then joined both the IAM and the Melksham & District Advanced Motorists!
When we receive notification from HQ your application has been processed, we will place you with one of our Observers as soon as possible. Whilst we have a large number of Observers, the supply is finite especially during the summer months when most drivers think about doing this, so we recommend you don't delay. The sooner you join, the sooner we can place you.
