Look at the BGA web site - it'll lead you to the location map of all BGA clubs in the UK with contact details etc. Fret not about us old farts as a certain person refers to herself & probably means other keen & willing souls, we are harmless & full of useful information. If on the other hand you find that a little daunting there is a very enthusiastic nationwide band of "Juniors" who regularly hold their own competitions & training sessions at sites around the Uk, again the BGA web site gives you all the information. A lot of clubs offer places to the likes of Air Scouts, nearby University's etc & of course us so called old farts also help subsidise the younger members (who get cheaper launch & flying rates at a lot of clubs).
Go for it & good luck
