I was at Kemble on Saturday as a photographer/enthusiast/aviation fan and found the event to be quite reasonable.

I did email the PFA with a couple of comments though

a) Pleased that the gates opened early
b) Wristbands were a good idea and would have reduced queuing times
c) facilities/toilets were ok although more litter bins would have been useful
d) shuttle buses worked much better than last year

not so good things :

a) long queues to get out onto main A419 - no police presence
b) conflict with another major aviation event - ie Flying Legends
at Duxford (as per last year) Will the same happen next year ?
(Flying Legends next year is 9th & 10th July)

As for £25 entrance fee for non members - compared to RIAT / Legends / Farnborough etc - good value.

Have the PFA considered a 'associate' category of membership for those who do not fly/own aircraft etc but still want to feel part of an organisation that promotes GA.
