I'm thinking of joining but...I'm not the most experianced off road driver, i think i have the basics down but just wondered if this would be a problem/hinderance if i joined, or weather i would be welcomed with open arms. I also appreciate that its not all off road driving but i was just curious about this.
I've had a quick look on their website but not filled any boxes and im asking here first as i know that some of you are members.

Hello,
im not a member of any simply because when theres extreme weather im normally out in it any way,
my advice would be join up i think they do training courses,
otherwise i would quite happily come out with you and give some tips as im sure many people would

cheers kieran

lambert:
i was a member for a while and as a social grroup it is brilliant. however i had a nagging doubt in my mind which i can only attribute to concerrns that for all the earstwhile good intentions of those involved it is an ammature voulantry organisation doing jobs of a potentialy life saving level of seriousness and yet the proffesionalism on show somehow left me worried.

topless matt:
Im a member in the norfolk brance, and we clocked up over 1500 miles during the bad weather this year.
It is not very hard, most of the time you will just be transproting people down roads where they cannot get a car, i think in the last 2 years we have only had one call out where there has been a stuck ambulance and it was on a piece of lawn that they had driven onto in the middle of lowestoft"!

Disco Matt:
So long as you're happy with a bit of snow and ice (and the odd bit of water) then you'll be fine. Your role will basically be helping user bodies when weather conditions make it impossible for them to carry out their regular duties using their normal vehicles - this could be driving district nurses around because their Fiesta doesn't like snow, or delivering meals on wheels because the van's stuck in the depot.
