Very nice club, good people, great airport for training. I do believe that they don't operate the PA28's for training any more, they use the C152, 172 and a Robin.
A great mix of instructors some young and some ex airline. At least 3 of their ex students are EZY F/O's. They are not too cheap they are about the going rate for the south east.
They do not require money up front but you will get a cheaper rate if you buy 500 pound blocks.
