Hi there,
I can't speak regarding the training as I was never trained there (!), however I did spend a couple of months this Summer while we based one of our aeroplanes there doing some aerial work.
Prices seemed a little higher than average, but the fleet looked in mint condition, with glass cockpittage and the rest. The facilities are excellent - spacious clubroom next to reception (with internet access) and I found it very easy to find the people I wanted.
You mention about threads and the future of the club etc etc, honestly, I cannot comment on that. From talking, there seemed to be a 'little' unrest between some instructors, but I believe this was more down to a conflict of business interest than anything else. Generally, however, I found everyone there easy enough to get on with, and there were a couple of instructors who were great fun to be around.
I apologise for not being able to expand any more, but my experience showed them to be professional, organised, and everybody was on the ball.
I'm sure somebody else will be along to give a much better perspective!
Good luck
