UK VFR flights

Hello all
I've just registered with BFSG to find out if there is a place for me to fit in.
I'm looking for companions for virtual VFR flying in the UK. I'm familiar with VATSIM UK and do one or two flights a week with them. I can use IVAO but there seems little activity in the UK.
I'm running FSX on a low-spec PC so tend to use default aircraft but also use ActiveSky, head-tracking and plan flights using NATS, Metoffice aviation, and Little NavMap. To improve realism I usually disconnect LNM so I can only see other aircraft out of the window, but still use it as a chart. PLOGS, wind correction, fuel calculations, weight & balance are fine with me too.
Group flights on JoinFS are great too. Sometimes I'll set up a navigation challenge in low-visibility, or do formation flying.
Is there much VFR activity in the club at the moment? If so, is there someone in particular I should contact?
Many thanks
Dave

Hi Dave,
Welcome to our small corner of the flight sim world
We run group GA/VFR flights every Tuesday night and I'm sure Mike will be along soon to encourage you to come join in. We use our own joinFS hub for these. On a busy week we can 15 or more flying together. With your VATSIM and IVAO experience you'll probably put us all to shame
Enjoy your stay here.

Hi Pete
Thanks for your reply. I'll speak to Mike and come along to a Tuesday meeting some time.
Meanwhile, if any club member wishes to join me for a spin on one of my days off, or maybe at a weekend, I'd be pleased to hear from them.
Dave
