I think that is known as corporate sabotage

No, starting from the bottom and learning the buisness

1. Yes please
So you reckon a morning session OR Afternoon session would get me sorted. So what price did you have in mind? Can I try an opening offer (with a generous .org discount of course ) of ?50?

Keith's patented invention
IIRC Patent's are very specific, so your idea of adjustably fixed position outriggers I wouldn't have felt would have any problem with his patent, & may I suggest that your idea is better to have a fixed point at which you have as a target that you can feel it reaching.
3.As to the point made above about saturating your local market - the London Bikers forum organise trips to a Wheelie School in S****horpe! so that's an overnight stay that they are willing to endure in order to attend. I don't see why you couldn't achieve such a destination status (but if you could hold it in Cobham that would be great, thanks )

I'd intend to open centers all round the country ... start of with me and perhaps a helper and then expand. I'd then take on more of a managerial role.

So you haven't answered the price question. It is obviously not in my interests to mention that the wheelie school (full day) is ?170

I also hope to be learnt by the end of this summer

The price would be determined by costs. My scrap of paper calculations (i.e. gustimate numbers for costs) works out at ?100 a head to make it viable.

As a service/experience that's OK, but for 2 hours
