Meeting
George Chandler
Scaynes Hill Millennium Hall, Lewis Road, Scaynes Hill. RH17 7PG
George Chandler, a fellow Rospa Tutor from the Kent Group. George is a retired Civil Engineer, having worked in Local Government for 40+ years, mostly on highways. His presentation is geared towards Advanced Drivers and he expects us to challenge him – his talk is Powerpoint based photos, illustrating lots of issues we all encounter on the roads. There will be plenty of opportunities for questions and sharing experiences. Be prepared – George is a hardened cynic, politically incorrect and will challenge your perceptions of highways. It promises to be a lively(!) entertaining and thought-provoking evening for everyone.
