I'd certainly agree with the values of the flying club. I flew for several years at a small flying club and I certainly hark back to those halycon days sat on a table outside in the sunshine having a nice pub lunch before my sorties listening to those wonderful Cessas buzz past. A PPL is a PPL is a PPL. Enjoy it a much as you can because when the CPL and IR come along later on the pressure can make it a little bit less fun and more work!
