It is probably the time for these riders to get some further training, but they don't feel that their current training isn't sufficient, so how do you get them to come join a group? Is the incident related trigger, the only way under which you get people joining?
I wish we knew the answer to that question. Then we would have an unlimited supply of new member to our club

If Bronze Silver / Gold appeals, just so you know, the IAM offer the F1RST register, whereby if you achieve a grade 1 in every category of your test, then it is recognised on your certificate.

Also if you go on to be an observer, then you will fall into a 3 yearly retest regime.
