Awards & Competency Evening 2025

Thursday 16 October, 2025 – The Wade Conference Centre

We came together to celebrate the achievements of our Associate Drivers and Riders, National Observers, and a Masters Driver. The event was a fantastic opportunity to recognise the hard work, commitment, and progress shown across our community.

Dave Cox, our Area Service Delivery Manager, led the presentations, awarding certificates to Members and National Observers in recognition of their accomplishments. Many inspiring stories were shared throughout the evening, and Dylan showcased his recent Young Driver Experience.

To conclude the event, Jeremy Cadman hosted a presentation on Goals for Driver Education and the competencies that driver & rider training should focus on to produce the safest possible drivers & riders.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the evening such a success!

Vehicle Detailing Presentation 2025

Thank you to everyone who came along to The Art and Science of Vehicle Detailing: A Professional Perspective
Thursday, 25 September 2025 – NSADR, 7:30–9:00pm

A big thank you to everyone who joined us for this special evening. We were delighted to welcome NSADR member Roz Milford, who shared her extensive expertise from both her professional training and her experience as a detailing business owner.

Roz’s presentation gave us a practical and insightful look at what it takes to keep vehicles looking their best. Attendees learned about:

  • Deep Cleaning Fundamentals – how to safely remove road grime, brake dust, and tar for a flawless finish.
  • Paint Protection Science – understanding waxes, sealants, and polishes, and knowing when to use each.
  • Corrosion Prevention – techniques to protect against winter road salt and long-term storage damage.
  • Minor Paint Correction – restoring paintwork by addressing small imperfections.

The evening also featured a showcase of professional-grade tools and products, offering a hands-on opportunity to see the equipment that professionals rely on.

Thank you once again for your participation in what proved to be an engaging and informative session
