As mentioned as an aside in other threads,

I spoke to the IAM Instructor to confirm, the taster session is Wednesday 27th April at 7.30pm in the Road Safety Centre (http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?client=public&X=330000&Y=195750&width=700&height=410&gride=329962&gridn=195851&srec=0&coordsys=gb&db=pc&addr1=&addr2=&addr3=&pc=&advanced=&local=&localinfosel=&kw=&inmap=&table=&ovtype=&zm=0&scale=5000&out.x=6&out.y=7), Edlogan Way, Cwmbran.

Jabba, Dave and I are going, anyone else?

Not me sorry, various reasons (mentioned to jabba about it). Still intend to do it at some point, but can't at the moment.

Maybe! First i've seen about this - what does it involve? Have been thinking about contacting the local IAM group, so this may be ideal :)

This is very much a taster session, so they will be telling us what's involved then but you can get a feel for it click here (http://www.gwent-advanced-motorists.org/bikes/home_bikes1.htm)

I've already signed and paid up (£85) so I going as a first introduction, I suspect that Jabba will cough up fairly soon thereafter.

If you are going to come along I can PM you the instructors number so that you can introduce yourself - there maybe limited numbers for the wednesday.

Yeah, if you could PM me the number that would be good. As long as I manage to cover my work callout for that night (should be ok) and there are free spaces i'll come along.

Are you going to meet somewhere for the ride up?

Have spoken to the instructor, and there's no limit on places, so will be coming along too :) I can make it to cardiff gate for 6:30, but if somebody could PM me their number just in case, that would be good.

You have PM and therefore my mobile number :D

Dave and I will wait for you at the Asda Petrol Station until 6.30pm. See you there.

Thanks for the PM.

Is the asda by the services? Can't picture cardiff gate, but know there is a sign to the services from the M4.

Lads,

Sorry!

You're gonna have to count me out for tonight :( I need to drop some stuff off at a place in Bath on the way home this evening (not on the Blue Cow - in the cage).

I wanted so much to go to this as well :cry:


Only bonus really is the fact that when I do get home I can watch the Match, and watch us (Liverpool) get a kickin' from Chelsea :roll:

Sorry Mogs :(

But if I can join at a later date, please let me know :thumbsup:

Jonc.

Asda Cardiff Gate is in Pontprennau just next to B&Q. If you miss it, I'm meeting Jabba at Bassaleg. Come off the M4 at junction 28 and follow signs for C'philly. We'll be in the layby next to the high school just before the Tredegar Arms at 6.45pm.

Bad luck Chris, You can start IAM anytime.

Have just checked multimap, and can see it just off the a4232. Should be fine :)

Oi!! Jonc!! Be careful.......... we mean Cardiff Gate off J30, Not Cardiff West off J33. Confusingly, both have the A4232 running south off the junctions............ :?

You want J30, turn right to next roundabout and then right into shops.

See you there.
