Chair: Paul Burgum

Paul has always had an interest in driving to the highest standard. Passing his driving test shortly after his 17th birthday, he was encouraged to improve his driving skills by a Police Officer who introduced him to Roadcraft, the Police Driver's handbook. These newly acquired driving skills served him well supporting his career as a Field Service Engineer, Project Engineer and Sales Engineer, where driving was a big part of the job. Paul became a member and Fellow of the IAM in 2016 and passed his Masters with Distinction in July 2021, and after joining the OAD, he trained as an observer. Paul's other passion is live music, particularly when looking after the sound at gigs from behind his sound desk.

Secretary: Lisa Collins

Lisa retired early from secondary school teaching to follow her dream of being as self-sufficient as possible.  She has chickens and geese, as well as a herd of rare breed Golden Guernsey goats raised for milk, cheese and meat.  Lisa makes and sells jams and chutneys and grows all her own vegetables and fruit.  She loves driving and passing on her skills and knowledge – that’s why she volunteered to be an observer.

Treasurer: Kromer Rogers
Chief Observer North: Kromer Rogers

Kromer settled in the Banbury area in 1980, having moved around the country working for Boots the Chemists.  He joined the IAM in 1998 and, soon after passing the Advanced Driving Test, decided to give something back by becoming an Observer.  Subsequently he progressed to the National Observer standard and provided further support to the Banbury Group as Joint Chief Observer.  When not enjoying these advanced driving activities Kromer’s time is taken up with DIY, home and family.

Also, not a committee member, but fulfilling an important role:

Associate Co-ordinator: Nik Bergson

Ever since his childhood, Nik had an ambition to follow in his father's footsteps, having seen the enormous pride that he had in his membership of the IAM.  But for more than forty years, family commitments and a busy career in teaching somehow meant that there was never enough time - until early retirement presented the perfect opportunity to join the Oxford Group and enrol for the Advanced Driver course.  After that, the obvious next step was for Nik to train as an observer, in an attempt to give a little something back, while at the same time continuing to improve his own driving.
