Some might think that, then again, look at Lasham, they were so busy they had a waiting list just a few years ago with now 700 members. 240 gliders and aircraft, new hangars everywhere and 45,000 movements in 2019. I do hope that Bicester find a new home though to keep a stronghold foot in Gliding but it was an area swamped with clubs in the M40 corridor. Abingdon would be great if it wasn't for Brize and Oxford!
