BADIs has a history of being able to attract good speakers to it’s meetings, we have had a number of speakers from DSA / DVSA including Robin Cummins, at the time the Chief Driving Examiner, and Trevor Wedge, who went on to become Chief Driving Examiner, and John Sheridan, an Assistant Chief Driving Examiner, on a number of occasions. We have also had speakers from the major national ADI organisations, chief examiners from RoSPA and Diamond, current and past chairmen of IMTD, and several leading figures and experts from the ADI world.
We are also lucky that we have amongst our membership some speakers that are extremely knowledgeable and experienced, and have held senior positions in various national ADI and road safety organisations.
Details of our past meetings are below.
Past venues
We do seem to have moved about. The venues listed in the right hand column of the table above are described below:
It was a good venue, chosen because of its central location, easy access, spaciousness and good facilities. It was already known to BADIs' founding members as they met there on the first Monday of each month as members of Birmingham Advanced Motorists.
The venue was paid for privately by its founding members, but the cost was more than BADIs was likely to be able to afford in the short term. So we had to look elsewhere. More recently, in the early 2000s, the building was boarded up, and is no longer in use.
Our first meeting there, on Thursday 28th September 2000, was a cracker, with Tony Read, DSA SE(ADI) held an open forum. We were clearly in no hurry to move on, and began to use the same venue (again, free of charge) to coach BADIs members taking the Diploma in Driving Instruction. However, all good (free) things do seem to come to an end, and towards the end of 2002 funding from Birmingham City Council for the resource centre was lost, and the venue closed. We had to cancel the meeting scheduled for 3rd April 2002, and look elsewhere.
