The last we saw in the book/film is Harry being taken off to see Wood after Neville breaks his wrist. Did the lesson continue, or did that year end up with no flying training at all?<<

Welcome Paul!  Madame Hooch, I presume does continue to give flying lessons throughout the year to first year students (I assume they are required to finish lessons before being allowed to have broomsticks on campus).  She also referees all of the Quidditch matches (with the exception of the one that Snape did!) and probably does some coaching on the side.  I guess she is also responsible for keeping the Bludgers, Quaffle and Snitch in good order.  Hope this helps!
