Sorry to hear that, we have quite a few Flow Hive beekeepers in the club, and I hope that we can get a Flow hive for educational and demonstration purposes in the near future. The club has spent a lot of money getting a new site and up to this point the hives are owned by members. We have a Xmas Party and fund raising BBQ coming up soon, I would suggest you come along and get to know to know the younger people, you’ll find all sorts in beekeeping. As for your frames, I have just posted a How To Guide in Basic Beekeeping for assembling frames using nails. Its generally very simple once you have done it a few times.
