New guy looking for info

[mike]

Hi Folks, I have a mate that is considering getting into 1/8th despite my best efforts to get him into large scale. He's from Manchester and was thinking about a hyper 7, could anyone suggest all the bits & bobs needed for a good day at a track (He's got radio gear) - which brings me onto the next point, which are the most local clubs to Manchester?

Many thanks,

Mike
