I was a member of the HCGB for many years before my overseas adventure and I would recommend it to anyone. I have little money and no helicopter but the club welcomed me for what I am. As with all clubs and associations there are members with their own agenda but on the whole I found them a good bunch to be with.
I also see with interest the comments on MAG, after my experiences on HEMS, I wonder if they would care to join forces with the RAC and the AA and start a campaign to
"STOP RIDING/DRIVING LIKE A COMPLETE TW@T"
