Gertrude,
My first ever trial lesson was also a present and I got a certificate free too without having to ask for one!
The flying school put the effort in for me and I appreciated it!
So when it came to starting my PPL a few months later I continued with the same school and instructor! I also bought myself a logbook and entered the details myself.
Now an ATPL and 3000 hrs later I still remember that first flight a decade ago!
The bottom line is Stapleford didn't appear to be bothered which is never a good thing!
