Does anyone has any experience or opinion about flying schools around Sheffield?

Question

My husband just hinted he wanted flying lessons for Christmas, so I'm doing my research and looking up options around Sheffield. I don't want to just buy a Groupon voucher, I'd rather buy directly from the school.

YAC looks nice, have any of you good people got experience or thought about them?

Sheffield aero club definitely https://www.sheffieldaeroclub.net no big jets wasting your time taxiing just straight into the flight and there is a nice club with a bar, restaurant etc. It’s a lovely vibe there and it has the shortest certified grass strip in the country they say if you learn to fly there you can fly into any airfield in the country. I’m about to start flying lessons there myself

Yeah Sheffield aero club is really good.

I was part of the club for about 6/7 years. Socially and food wise it's not what it used to be. But flying wise it's a really high standard

That's exactly what I wanted to know about, standards. Many thanks for your input :)

The way this was worded randomly reminded me of this. Probably don't want one of these though
