My own experience of Tatenhill was unfriendly and hostile, but I have subsequently been assured that that was one a****e with an attitude problem when I visited, and most other opinions I've heard were good. Hopefully he's been euthanised by now.
However, have you checked what's available through the services - particularly the RAF. There are a number of good station flying clubs around the country, and it should also be possible to stay in the appropriate station mess. The savings should be considerable, condition of the aircraft better than most civvie clubs, and the standard of instruction excellent - the services would not permit otherwise.
