SheffSean Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Please forgive me if this is in the wrong place but I was wondering if there is anyone who flies near Sheffield, I'd really like to meet some members and learn some stuff before I start any training, just to get an idea of the lie of the land so to speak.

SheffSean Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 I tried to look earlier for any members near me but I couldn't get it work, might be my antiquated iPad, I'll try it again, cheers Andy. Sean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheffSean Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 For some strange reason I can't load the member locator on my iPad, I'll try it on my iMac later, just sitting down to dinner. Sean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SheffSean Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 Hi there mate, that's brilliant thanks, for the time being I'd just like to watch some people flying and get to know some members, get chatting, that sort of thing, I'm also trying to loose weight and get my back better after a work accident so watching is all I can manage at the moment Sean.
