The AOPA (UK) has a new website coming soon which will show the flying community the breadth and depth of what it has done.
About bl**dy time too. Their website is appalling and, what's more its bulletin board is moribund. There have been almost no posts for months.

Even the breakaway forum on the FL*er forum has very few.

I've given up my membership as I found that AOPA was irrelevant to my sort of flying and the LAA has been just as active, if not more so,

Take, for example, the responses to recent consultations. The quality of the AOPA responses is markedly inferior to those of the BGA and LAA. And don't tell me about the work AOPA does behind the scenes.

The General Aviation magazine is OK and has some interesting articles, but to me it is a 'What Martin Robinson is doing on his holidays" brochure in large part.

Personally I think it would be best if AOPA joined with the other UK groups in the GA Alliance. We are too small to fragment into interest groups.
