That's what happens when airfields become too big for their boots over here. Don't know where you live, but Leicester has a great atmosphere and the real Nottingham airport isn't that bad. If it's not too far I'd head to Leicester if I was you.
The atmosphere and surroundings of Leicester are great, sitting in uncontrolled airspace, the airfield is run by the club. Social scene is also great once the days flying is complete.
There is a cloud over Leicester though as the current landowners (our wonderful caring sharing CO-OP) are trying to break a lease with 12 years to run in order to build a new eco town!!!
