RoSPA AWARD 2011
FOR SHROPSHIRE AND POWYS ADVANCED RIDERS
Patrick Turnbull, Frieda Hughes, Tom Davis, Bill Croxon, Stuart McMillan
Shropshire and Powys Advanced Riders has been announced as a runner-up in a new awards scheme launched by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents to recognise the achievements of advanced driving and riding groups receiving a cheque for £250.00.
The RoADAR Awards were initiated to highlight the hard work and dedication of volunteers from RoSPA Advanced Drivers and Riders (RoADAR) groups, of which there are more than 50 across the UK.
RoSPA, a charity with road safety roots stretching back to 1916, wanted to show its appreciation for the groups’ efforts to promote advanced driving and riding and other road safety initiatives. Judges were particularly keen to hear about: how groups had raised awareness of advanced driving or riding to both young and older drivers during 2011; partnerships with like-minded organisations; and, general group promotional activities.
The whole day was a brilliant experience, meeting people from other groups and seeing first hand their achievements. It is very easy to get cocooned in your own group and think you are the only ones making a contribution to safer riding/driving and road safety in general. There is a fantastic amount of good work being done by the RoADAR groups and we saw only a snapshot of it.
It is nice to see SAPAR being recognised for it contribution, yes it would have nice to win, more so as a tribute to the members of the group, as without their support and efforts over the past few years we would not had anything to ‘crow’ about.
The truth of all this, is there are thousands of winners, anyone who has become a safer rider/driver as a result of the RoADAR groups intervention though out the UK .
Congratulations to the group and the presenting team.
