Hong Kong Aviation Club? Updated info?

Hello all, like the title says does anyone have the latest info about the Hong Kong Aviation Club? I have called them and they told me that I must wait 3-6 months for an interview with their general committee before I can do any flying etc.

I am well aware of the costs etc but I wish to fly the skies of HKG as I am residing here and wish to get a PPL here. I have heard rumors that you barely get to fly on the weekends as there are too many people queuing up to use the aircraft and that you have to wait several months before you can fly a single hour, on top of that you do not have the same instructor every time.

Any advice or confirmation of the info would be much appreciated. Going overseas to get a PPL just for the sake of a "license" is not really intriguing. I actually want to fly not just hold a piece of paper. Thanks!

Also, any tips on flying and other info is much welcome.
