The Private Flying forum would be a better place to ask...

Do you want group A flying, helicopters, gliding, microlighting?

This will help

Which side of Birmingham are you moving to?

Depending on which, try Wellesbourne, Coventry, Halfpenny Green (Wolverhampton) or even Tatenhill, assuming group A or H

I've flown from all four of those airfields and can recommend some clubs. Wellesbourne Aviation is very good; nice premises, and fairly new aircraft - mainly Robins. The Flight Centre at Halfpenny Green is also worth a look. Although I've never flown with them, Coventry Aero club seem to have nice premises and fairly good a/c, and I have flown at Tatenhill Aviation too. The airfield is the quietest of the four, but their fleet is ok, and staff are all friendly. Hope this helps.

Go to Tattenhill unless you like weekend flying with a challenge of 6 in the circuit, 4 waiting to take off and two joining.

I can't say much for the other clubs in the area, as i've never flown with or visited them, but i'm currently training with Wellesbourne Aviation and as pj-hypersonic says, they are a very good training organisation, I can't recommend them enough. Exceptionally good instructors with a very high level of teaching, very nice fleet of aircraft (4 x Robin HR200, 1 x Robin 2160, 3 x PA28 Warrior, 1 x Piper Arrow). The club itself has a professional, organised and unified atmosphere to it whilst at the same time still being friendly and welcoming. Finally, the prices are also very good, have a look at their frequent flyer scheme.

Just one thing: If you do decide to fly at Wellesbourne Aviation, make sure you get plenty of slots booked in advanced, it is extremely popular!
