MAM Observer Training 2008 - Observer & Senior Observer

MAM is on the lookout for new Observers and current Observers who want to go on to become Senior Observers. Please contact our Chief Observer through the Contacts page. This is an exhilarating challenge to hone in your Advanced skills even further and pass that skill on to new Associates. You will really benefit from this and be satisfied that you are passing on your skills to new recruits.

2008 Training Plan:

Our Chief Observer, David Major, has formulated a plan for the new year and all prospective Trainee Group Observers and Trainee Senior Observers are invited to a session on Thursday 22 May at 7.30pm (promptly please) at the Bell Pub, Broughton Gifford, Melksham. Please come along to see how you can develop your skills further and pass your skills onto others. If you are not familiar with the Bell's location, contact David. Agenda for the evening will be:

• Introduction and Welcome by David Major,
• Introductions by Melksham Observers and the new Trainee Group Observer candidates,
• Explanation of the training syllabus by David Major,
• Distribution of associated Training Aids (books, stationary etc.),
• Discussions about the new Road Craft manual,
• Q&A from the floor, especially any issues that should be raised concerning the role and responsibilities of a Group Observer,
• Our Associate Coordinator, Mike Doggart, will then present how Associate Coordination works, the procedures, and associated paperwork,
• A 10 minute "diary session" will then take place to set the dates for training this season.
• Following the Trainee Group Observer briefing, David will discuss Senior Observer training,
• Any other business.

Please contact David as soon as you can if you have an interest and if you will be coming along because it would be nice to know numbers for planning the event.
