Thank you all once again for the comments, you've certainly given me a lot to think about! I think I'm going to stick to where I am at the minute but maybe visit one or two of the other clubs in the area anyway (can't hurt to just have a nose about). I really don't want to do anything to knock me off course at the minute.
Just FYI, before my first lesson on stalling I was give a full 1 hour brief on the theory of the stall. Learned about (amongst other things) the AOA, lift coefficient, lift formula as well as the signs of approaching and developed stall etc. When out on the lesson the recovery instruction was reduce AOA with control column centrally forward.
To answer an earlier questions my instructor at Tollerton was Ben but unfortunately he moved on just before Xmas. I'm still getting to know the new chap but all seems good so far.
