10 mins away at White Waltham you will have a better time as the social side is good and they do tail wheel, IMC, twin etc.
Although it is only a short hop away it is lower at only 130' above sea level. You will tend to find that while Booker is in the cloud and shut. Waltham is still active in the circuit.
