IAM "Skill for Life" course...recommended?

TBH riding over a white mini roundabout to me is a grey area, like dotted hatchings seperating traffic lanes, as opposed to solid white lines...Do just a bit more than is necessary  will invoke examiner displeasure.

As mentioned above, avoiding the mini roundabout is a "You MUST". Dotted hatchings are ok provided you do it sensibly (ie in a way that wouldn't cause anyone to have to adjust their speed or direction).

Oddly , on larger roundabouts it was expected to use all lanes if empty  to cut off the corners to maintain progress

The IAM have recently released a document called "Common Confusions About Your Test" where they clarify several of these issues. You should be able to see a copy here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/gbcwi5z7eizrgb...20bike.pdf

Well i can't really judge the entire group as I only met 3 people but they all seemed friendly enough as well as pretty enthusiastic about the group and bikes in general. Based on what I've seen I'll probably join but I'm goin to go to a club night first to see what the other members are like first. They did mention that they've got a lot planned for the year and seemed worried they might not be able to fit it all in.
