As a member of the AFC for 11 years now I can say it is a might fine club, it has its share of internal politics which should hopefully be sorted out this year.
As Sturg says the instructors there are great and will go the x-tra mile for u for sure.
Yes there is a pub and sometimes there is mighty fine drinking taking place......is that a problem me thinks not....u have to have the "bar" conversion sometime
I would suggest do up to CPL single IF with AFC then got to Sheltam for Twin IF which is next door to AFC they have very nice AC including a KingAIr 200 ZS-PUF real neat.
