Personally I do both, but I know many others who don't.

I remember reading somewhere that the 'average' PPL will only do 50 hrs post licence issue before giving up. If that's true it's a travesty, but unfortunately understandable given the dire service most people can expect after they get their licences from most so-called flying 'clubs.'

Why don't we set up a Pprune club that offered training and help to people who have recently got their tickets aswell as organising fly-ins/outs etc. I know it is done on an informal basis already, but why not formalise into a non-profitmaking organisation. I for one would be very willing to put some time in and I'm sure their would be plenty of others (FI's and PPL's) who would also be willing to get involved. Just look at the number of people who offer help and advice free of charge here on Pprune already.
It could be a sort of one stop shop that provides everything that most clubs don't do very well.
