Thanks guys. Just a few more questions-

How do clubs actually work? I know you don't just turn up, fly and go home. So lets say you turned up at your club on Saturday. Do you just stick your name on a list, then sit in the bar until it's your turn to fly (and occasionally help recovering gliders)? Or is there more to it?

Also, how many flights would you get a day? Are we talking one flight, 3 flights, or as many as you want?

And last question, how much does it roughly cost to learn? I assume it's more than normal if you're going to have an instructor with you?

Oh wait, last last question- how long do your flights last (lets say for a general winter flight). Are we talking 5 minutes, 20 minutes, an hour?

Thanks!
