Default Prescott Hillclimb Drivers School

After spending a very enjoyable day spectating at the hillclimb i fancy attending their driver's school.
Has anyone been on a course there ,what did you think of it ?
Is it money well spent?
Do you have to supply and wear all the gear?

I've worked the Prescott school for years. It's well worth it. The instructors are very knowledgable.

I must do it myself one day.

I'm doing the VSCC long course hillclimb at Prescott on Saturday, in my dad's MG J2, which is a bit like the red vintage car in the pic earlier in this thread.

Any tips?

No events but I have put a deposit down for May 9th drivers school.
It would be good to get a few Subaru along.
