In the pipeline / To be arranged  

Date Event and Venue Notes
To be arranged Quiz night A chance to sit around and answer questions.
To be arranged Visit to Tulliallan Police Driver Training Centre I have opened contact with the Scottish Police College to see about this planed visit. We hope to get some demonstrations from police driving instructors plus some discussion on how Police Driver training is structured and delivered. This already promises to be very popular evening so will probably be members only, it is also likely to be a pay event as the SPC is now a self funding centre. Details will follow as I get them, but contact Ray Lynch if you want to be considered.

If you have a particular subject you wish to have discussed at a meeting, please contact the secretary here WLDIA Secretary by email or contact any member of the committee directly - see COMMITTEE link on the navigator panel to the left. We are also constantly on the look out for themes for special meetings or ideas for social events. Please remember that this is YOUR association and we will endeavour to do what you want.  Also keep in mind that meetings with a specific purpose DO COUNT AS CPD. If we use our heads we can be getting a major part of our CPD requirements in at NO EXTRA cost, surely that's got to be worth £5 per year membership.
