Now now guys, let's not turn this thread in to a flame-fest, eh?
Grow45, I know what you mean. I visited the EFC a few weeks back and I was very happy to learn that the club is very friendly and helpful. I spoke to the CFI - a very nice chap indeed.
Thanks for the encouragement, too. I most certainly look forward to my first lesson... it was originally meant to be 2 weeks ago, but a nasty bout of Flu and awful weather had me grounded. D'oh!
