Keep the landing fees high please
This is by no means a post to get peoples backs up as some tend to be in other forums. It is a genuine suggestion that landing fees should be kept up to allow clubs to provide the service we expect as private flyers.
Having visited Goodwood for the first time on Saturday I was somewhat surprised to pay £14 landing fees. However, what a fantastic place. I could not fault it in any way and it must easily be the cleanest and smartest club I have visited.
Every club has its strengths and I am not suggesting that the run of the mill clubhouses are at fault. Sometimes there is nothing better than a cholesterol stimulating lunch in a smoky environment!
What I would say is that the number of people who complain at the standard of some clubhouses, club aircraft, general facilities and having to part with £5 when they land.........get a life.
To pay nearly three times that amount to land at a field five times more enjoyable to have lunch at is worth it.
Any views?
