The Private Flying forum would be a better place to ask...
Do you want group A flying, helicopters, gliding, microlighting?
This will help

Which side of Birmingham are you moving to?
Depending on which, try Wellesbourne, Coventry, Halfpenny Green (Wolverhampton) or even Tatenhill, assuming group A or H

I've flown from all four of those airfields and can recommend some clubs. Wellesbourne Aviation is very good; nice premises, and fairly new aircraft - mainly Robins. The Flight Centre at Halfpenny Green is also worth a look. Although I've never flown with them, Coventry Aero club seem to have nice premises and fairly good a/c, and I have flown at Tatenhill Aviation too. The airfield is the quietest of the four, but their fleet is ok, and staff are all friendly. Hope this helps.

I can't say much for the other clubs in the area, as i've never flown with or visited them, but i'm currently training with Wellesbourne Aviation and as pj-hypersonic says, they are a very good training organisation, I can't recommend them enough. Exceptionally good instructors with a very high level of teaching, very nice fleet of aircraft (4 x Robin HR200, 1 x Robin 2160, 3 x PA28 Warrior, 1 x Piper Arrow). The club itself has a professional, organised and unified atmosphere to it whilst at the same time still being friendly and welcoming. Finally, the prices are also very good, have a look at their frequent flyer scheme.
Just one thing: If you do decide to fly at Wellesbourne Aviation, make sure you get plenty of slots booked in advanced, it is extremely popular!
