Hi RN
Tatenhill (EGBM) has to be worth serious consideration, a good and competively priced fleet (no landing fees). An excellent hard runway (1000m+) in a nice rural setting.

A friendly social club (£50 per year membership which gives discount on training/hire) with an active social side and regular fly-outs/events (students encouraged to go as pax to improve nav skills). Margaret is in the cafe Fri-Sun and offers good choice of food. Club house has room for flight planning (pc/printer, broadband, manuals etc).

Might be biased as I fly out of there!
