East Surrey Group of Advanced Motorists (ESGAM) is an affiliated Group of IAM Roadsmart.
We are one of the Groups up and down the country which provide driver training for the
IAM Roadsmart course and test.
When you buy an Advanced Driver training course the cost also includes one year’s
membership of IAM Roadsmart as well as one year’s membership, as an Associate, of the
Group providing your training; in this case East Surrey.
When you have passed your test you are entitled to become a full member of IAM
Roadsmart. This entitles you to many benefits including discounts from various suppliers,
access to activities such as Skills Days, a regular magazine and other news updates and also
volunteering opportunities. The current cost of membership is £47 per annum (as at April
2025).
You are also entitled, separately, to become a full member of the East Surrey Group at a
current cost of £15 per annum, paid by direct debit. Please note, though, that, to be a
member of the Group, you must also be a member of IAM Roadsmart.
As a small but enthusiastic Group we do not have a social programme, as such, but focus our
energies on our primary passion; driving.
ESGAM is a voluntary organisation and all those involved give of their time for free. There
are, though, still costs to be covered including venue hire, various insurances and incidental
costs.
We encourage members to use Gift Aid where possible, which significantly increases your
donation to us, enabling us to deliver more training to road users.
