Skid Pan visit raised a grin all round
On Tuesday 5th April we had our annual visit to the skid pan at the west Yorkshire police driver training unit at Crofton Wakefield. Although this event was allocated to us at short notice it was very soon fully booked with nine out of the twelve members attending for the first time.
The training centre has 25 trainers and is the 4th largest training centre in the UK. Our instructors were Charlie & Jonathan who informed us that this was there 1st session of the year and went on to outline the causations of skidding using the pneumonic BASS. Braking, Accelerating, Steering, Speed
Last year’s charity was St Gemma’s Hospice and they raised £3200. We raised £150 which was handed over and will be given to this year’s charity "The Multiple System Atrophy Trust’'
David Robinson won the figure of eight competition with a time of 46.94secs.
All those attending had big grins on their faces and said what a valuable experience it had been adding ‘when can they come again’? Well the good news is we have been allocated a place in 2012. Yes the list has already been started to cater for those who didn’t get the opportunity this year. So it goes to show how fortunate we were.
