For those of you that have enquired about sessions over July and August, I'm currently looking at getting another instructor in to cover Wendy's sessions while she's off recovering. Hopefully I will know by the weekend and so can take bookings over the summer holidays.
Thanks for your patience.

Wendy will be absent until September which is resulting in a lack of availability until September. We would like to wish her all the best and a speedy recovery.
Please bear with us while I try and arrange something until Wendy returns

☀️ Super sunny Tuesday with a completely unnecessary thunder/hail storm thrown in for good measure… because British weather loves to keep us guessing 🤷‍♀️⛈️😂
Thankfully, the airfield stayed dry for us! 🙌🏻

5 instructors out this evening whilst Rob enjoys his holiday… safe to say he picked the right week to disappear ☀️😎😂

🚗 Sarah took Maiya & Charlie
🚗 John took Phoebe & Thomas
🚗 Wendy took Tom & Harry
🚗 Sharon took Chloe
🚗 Dave took his daughter Taylor for her second session before the big 1-7! 🎉

A fab evening with a lovely mix of familiar faces and some brand new Under 17’s drivers joining us 👏🏻☺️

Tonight’s skills included slalom driving, reversing, steering control, clutch control and building confidence behind the wheel 🚗💨🔥

It’s amazing to watch these young drivers grow in confidence and pick up new skills so quickly ☺️

Huge well done to every single one of you, you all smashed it! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
