I've been poking around the IAM website a little recently, and am looking into joining up for some observed drives. I have said for a while that I'll get round to joining up one day, and it occured to me this evening that I might actually do so!

Anyway - I live to the south of Marlborough, and there's no group immediate nearest group. I think the nearest group on the IAM website is listed as being up in Swindon, but I seem to recall a while ago something regarding the IAM in Basingstoke being posted up on PH, and that one or more members are PH regulars? How well would a 21 (going on 40 if I'm honest!) year old guy fit into the IAM, or this group specifically?

One last question - I've seen the £85 joining fee listed on the website. I understand that gets you a certain amount of observed drives, and access to come along to talks and meetings, but are there any additional costs for the test, or anything else?
