SVA seminars

mapper · #1 18th January 2005, 18:26

At Derby SVA test centre we are currently researching the possibilities of presenting a seminar on the preparation and presentation of kitcars for the SVA test.

To enable us to progress we are trying to establish the amount of interest there may be in such a project, so we are looking to builders, clubs and groups of enthusiasts to register their interest at the e.mail address below. There would be a fee of £15.00 pp, and we would have groups of 10 per daily session.
We would also welcome any input with regards to the content of the seminars.(grey areas etc)

As a new builder that would certainly be of interest to me...

JG · #3 18th January 2005, 22:08

Madabout fully support this initiative

so please get behind Mark and the team at Derby and provide your thoughts and questions about SVA (especially those builders that are nearing that stage)

Obviously interest will be fairly localised to Derby and surrounding areas but you never know if it proves successful it may be reason enough for other SVA testing stations to have similar days.

With enough input from people to make it a success then Madabout should be able to provide a reference point for all your SVA worries and concerns.

Please post here with you support and topics you would like raised and also e-mail Mark at the address supplied in his post to express an interest in attendance.

Cheers, John

Mark the mapper,

This is a bloody good idea, but I'm in Taunton...could you talk to the local SVA guys here about hosting the same thing here? I would attend without question...very good idea!

Hi folks,

Let's hope the seminars work and they are adopted by other stations.

Keep the replies coming in.

Hi Mark, Big Cheese and All,
I decided to keep out of public forums a while ago. However, with news as encouraging as this I couldn’t resist sticking my head above the parapet

to say “Jolly Good Show” or something similar.

In fact the idea’s so good: I reckon it would be worth a mention in Kit Car’s news pages

.

Has Big Cheese got any problem with my referring Kit Car’s readers to MadAbout for interactive SVA chat

?

Let me get this straight. For £15 you get to spend a day with an SVA tester or two and ask questions about your concerns, along with 9 other guys who'll ask the questions you were afraid to ask

.

Where's the catch

?
Den.

JG · #8 20th January 2005, 23:39

Good to hear from you again Den

That's about it, a very good idea from the peeps at Derby

Would like to think it could extend to other centres if it proved successful.

No problem at all re the new piece and interactive thingy BTW.

Cheers, John

Hi all
We still have a few places left if anyone wants to come along to Derby on the 6th April for the seminar.
P.s anyone at Stafford on Saturday

JG · #15 11th March 2005, 10:30

Roll up, Roll up, last few remaining.

Mapper, do you have any SVA literature that could be put up on Madabout that you think might benefit builders, often asked questions, failure points, that sort of thing.

Cheers, John

Hi John

It went very well thanks, everyone who attended agreed it had been worthwhile and suggested it would be a good idea to do others. Thanks for the use of the site for advertising it. I will be in touch soon.

Mark

Sounds as if I missed out with the seminar - derby isn't too far but Birmingham is closer - will watch this space to see if any more are organised.
