Update
Hi again all,
I have today been for a flying lesson and have had a chat with my intructor about it. He told me that im progressing well (hopefully thats good considering it was my third lesson) and as such I have decided to stay at Donair. As for the membership fees, we concluded that I could pay £10 for a month as £85 a year is a waste of 40 pounds. The club are brilliant and after hearing about where all the money goes and what it covers has helped me understand most of your points - that if your paying cheap you get cheap back. Hence i decided to stick with Donair whom are brilliant and have once again helped me out as much as possible. I will also be trying gliding at some point, however I feel it is essential to get my PPL done asap and as such i probably may not continue with gliding.
Thanks all who contributed as once again in the aviation community i have learnt much from this thread.
Luke.
