I would support it Glowworm, and I would also be able to discuss such backing with the BFA. With both the BSA and BFA (which also offers insurance) we would have quite an action filled basis for such a club.
I would also be happy to coordinate trips from the London region as I already do that most weekends anyway
I can highly recommend Almostafish as someone who might like to be involved, and he would certainly offer a lot of useful advice, local knowledge and training. Could be a two way hand rub there B
