Hi Paco,
Welcome to the NE of England!
As you are probably aware Newcastle is a bit cold at this time of year and flying conditions (for all but the very experienced at flying the sites) are very variable. I don't know if you have joined the club (£25 I think) but I think that is the best idea.
Monthly meetings are on the first Wednesday of every month at the Cornerhouse pub in Heaton on the A1058 Coast Road.
I am only a newbie so not an expert but I think you have the right idea in contacting the club. In England we have to negotiate with landowners for access to flying sites and have to abide certain rules. Most sites are within 1.5 hours of Newcastle.
All the best and good flying,
Glenn
