I spent the last 4 years flying in France...The Clubs there are 'charitable' status - At 'Les Alcyons' - St Cyr, near Paris, everyone chips in and it feels like a great social group of like minded pilots rather than a "business"...
Club fees just cover the cost of keeping the club going...They arrange fly-outs at least twice a month...either day trips or longer fly-outs over long weekends etc...
Members support each other, experienced pilots and new qualified fly together and share experiences, instructors join the organised 'fly-outs'...
Bar B Q's every week through the summer...I have spent lots of happy, happy, happy hours in the planes and in the club-house...
OK..
Now I will move to London (South west)...and I am looking to find a similar club.
I don't want to turn up and rent a plane for 200 GBP an hour from somebody in a crisp white shirt...I am happy to pull the a/c out of the hanger and wash it after the flight...I want to find a group of people to fly with, learn from share the pleasure of flying with...
Any ideas welcome!
