Two ideas which haven't been mentioned yet:
1 Arrange a visit to D&D where someone will talk to you and explain how they work. It's well worth while making the effort to do this and it could save your life one day. (Don't forget to take some decent biccies with you as a "Thank you.")
2 Attend a CAA Safety Evening - for all we may moan about them, this is one thing they do well. Don't forget to get your logbook stamped, I'm told that having that stamp may reduce the amount you pay for insurance as, apparently, nobody who has been to one of these events has been involved in a fatal accident. (It may even be simply "involved in a serious accident" but I can't remember exactly.)
