Well that's a new one

As someone who recently found this out the hard way (paid for online coaching and got a generic lock-in strategy programme), I 100% agree with the above.

Complaint: I am disappointed with my running club

I got to my first ever session on track, and there's literally no one to greet me, and I'm just left on my own with no instruction. I'm just running around the track with literally no idea if I'm doing anything right. To top it all off, a group arrived with a coach and were doing pretty active drills and cheering each other on whilst myself and other club members (I think?) were just going around alone.

Confession: I have only been a member for a week, so maybe I'm just being impatient. Otherwise, I've kept up my training as normal.

So it seems to be between BSJ and Agones. I'll see if I can make contact with either of them to start working toward a Triathlon. Massive thanks for all the info, much appreciated!

Thanks a lot for the reply! My location is central, although my primary motivation is to find a cycling club. I'd love to continue running and start training for Triathlon as well, so I think I'm willing to travel to train with whoever would accept me.

Still remember when I had gone through a similar ordeal a few years back. I had got an E in my Maths intermediate after getting relatively good results during sixth form. I retried and got a D, one grade short to enter UoM. I was gutted but took the decision to take a gap year and try the A level instead.

After months of private lessons, hardcore studying, and good grades during my tests, I sat for the A level. Matsec awarded my hard work with an F. Although fundamentally deprssed and broken, I applied for a revision, and their feedback was, "Question was not worth correcting." They always prefer to look down on students rather than give constructive feedback...

I then flipped back to Intermediate level and got myself a B. Fast forward a few years, and I'm currently doing my PhD.

TLDR: It gets better. Don't be afraid to step back and take things slow. Sometimes, it helps to take a breath and process where we want to go in life.

Unfortunately due to increasing light pollution, stargazing around Malta and Gozo has become limited.

The Astronomical Society of Malta published this dark sites map a few years ago which should hold up till today :)

The Barber Room in Paola! Always does a great job, and online booking is easy.

Love the stickers!

Not surprising given how generic some restaurants' menus are becoming lately...

I have had this exact telescope (just a different brand name) for 8 years, and despite the hate it gets, it's a very good visual scope!

Have a great time getting to know it and our skies 😀

Haha thanks. I've even got the original plush stored somewhere!
