This is mostly for the members living in the 'general' Newcastle Hunter Valley area.

This Tuesday night (17/0/09) there is a Road Safety Presentation being held in the Maitland Town Hall at 7pm.

It is being put on by Roadwhyz ( http://roadwhyz.com/ ) and is a shortened version of what we do in the High Schools trying to save young and intending drivers.

If you have kids that are driving, on the 'L's or going to get them in the next 12 months think about allocating some time and coming along please.

It is a very powerful presentation almost guarenteed to make you or someone near you cry with what you will see and hear.

As an added incentive there will also be given away to someone there a hotlap ride in a Supercar calued at about $200.

I can't make it as I will be working the Jets ACL game but I have asked my 3 sons (21, 16 &14) to be there with their mum for support.

This presentation does change the attitude of the kids that attend toward how they drive or more importantly making a decision about getting into a car.

Thanks for reading.....

COMMUNITY FEEDBACK ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Firstly I would like to commend you on running such a program and I would like to thank you for the invitation to attend.

I guess I first though that this will be a good education and just what she (Melissa) needs. As I had seen similar presentations before.

It would be hard to say that we both didn’t come away from there effected by what we seen and heard.

Although graphic I would not change a thing !!!

Melissa said she is going to drag all her friends to the next available presentation and she feels that every body should see and witness this type of presentation.

And I agree with her that not just the young, but people of all ages should attend at least once in there life.

I do recommend that young people should attend with a least one parent for support.

After all the young don’t have all the accidents. I think we can become complacent at times as we get older.

Thank you once again.
