wood that will extend across the threshold of 29 runway all the way to
Digby's farm at the back of the clubhouse.
This is very important

Revised Days of Opening
Due to the general difficult economic
climate and the lack of bookings early in the week the Club will be closed
on Mondays as from the 12th May. Private owners will be able to fly should
they wish though the airfield will be unlicensed, fuel will not be available,
aircraft will have to be handled by owners, and the Club-House will be
closed. As and when there is an upturn in demand then we will revert to
7 day opening. V & V Day will go ahead as planned on Monday 26th May
We are also "moth-balling"
three aircraft, two PA28s and the Robin CK
