30th March - MTSC Minibus Driver Refresher Course (Extra Club Night!)
(Venue: RSA, 200 Broadway Ave, Palmerston North)

The Committee invites you to a driving refresher course to be held at an extra club meeting night on Tuesday 30th March, to be given by an experienced professional driving instructor. This refresher course is primarily intended for all MTSC Minibus drivers, but all members are welcome to attend. In fact it will be beneficial for all club members to attend for two good reasons: firstly, our instructor will be giving out useful tips for anybody who drives, particularly on hilly country roads; It is desirable that all minibus passengers have some idea of what our drivers should (or should not) be doing whilst driving up to 12 people and their equipment in a vehicle significantly wider, longer and heavier than a car. Did you know that 12 adults and their day packs weigh around one ton, and with the empty vehicle weight of around 2.5 tonnes, the all-up load is 3.5 tonnes? The safety of our members is a priority for the Club, and all drivers and potential drivers are urged to attend this course. So please come along and hear what our instructor has to say. Everybody will learn something. For further info please contact Hugh Wilde, Ph 356 9450.
