Thanks for the comments guys, really looking forward to getting started
jwilliams85, I will get a headset of my own, I think the club sell them for around the 100 quid mark, so if they're confortable that'll save me shopping around. I'm sure they also do a pack of text books for the entire course which will also be a good purchase.
jwilliams85, congrats on the first solo! since my first post I've now registered for the course, hopefully get started beginning of Sept and really looking forward to it. How do you find your progressing with the 2-4 hours a month?
