Salisbury Plain Advanced Motorists members meet on the FIRST Wednesday of each month (except January), to share advanced motoring updates and personal experiences, to recognise the achievements of those who have recently passed their advanced tests and to socialise.

Each meeting features a guest speaker, who shares his or her experiences on a topic of personal interest or commitment. The speakers and their topics for the next few months are provided below.

You do not have to be a group member to attend a group meeting. If you would like to come and meet us to chat about advanced motoring, or if one of the guest speaker topics interests you, then diary it now!
