I have been a member of LAC since March 2000.
I have today taken up the new BOA Ltd landing contract scheme with BAOL Barton Aerodrome Operations Limited
It cost £55 and gives me free landings and free car parking at Barton until the end of March 2007.
If you fly a lot like myself, it works out cheaper than paying for each landing, each circuit and each exit.
As for LAC, sorry to say this but I think as a club, its days are numbered.
I just hope whatever happens in the future at Barton, flying continues.
Apart from the old politics stigma which is now no way as bad as it use to be, Barton is a brilliant place to fly from. ATC guys do a great job and its a real good place to build confidence. Can be very busy at the weekends in the summer with upto 8 in the circuit and plenty wanting to arrive and depart. Great place for helping you building your experience. Best thing to do is turn up, fly, have a brew and a butty, then go home. Great place and you meet loads of new friends.
Hope there are many many more flying days at Barton and would be very sorry to see the place close.
