****** that!!! Is that a syndicate or a club?
To stay current why not join a club here and pop over once every month or two. You would still be quids in mate. Clubs here will give a decent rate for a block of hours. Depending on where you look and what you want to fly I reckon pay no more than £120 join, nothing a month and £70 an hour if you were doing ~20 hours. Don't know what todays rate is but thats still a fair bit cheaper.
