weird management at WW. I tried to join there when I bought my aircraft in 2002. I had been in and the manageress had shown me around, agreed a parking rate for my aircraft and showed me the club rules etc. All very reasonable. The day before my aircraft was going to be flown in for me I went along to pay the necessary fees and the CFI got involved. He rejected my membership as my Rans (microlight) was deemed to be "too slow in his circuit!"

That bit of stupidity has cost WW some 17 grand so far.

I ended up at Brimpton, cheaper, friendlier, dawn to dusk freedom without arrangement and all the tea and coffee I can drink.

Perhaps he was right to be concerned, microlights are taking over.
