Yes it is to become the home of Blackbushe Aviation, another branch of Redair we are told. They are in fact already in business but operating from a caravan while the finishing touches are made to the old EF building. The building has "scrubbed up well".
The Cafe is open again although there has been very little "scrubbing up" done to that end of the building. We are reliably informed that the Bar, which will be run by British Car Auctions, will re-open at the beginning of August.
Club nights on Fridays have resumed and we currently bring our own drinks.
It will probably never be as good as the heady days of the '90s because we've "been there - done that" but who knows what a fresh start and new blood might bring.
It will be interesting to see how BCA run the Bar. There are some very quiet times there when the weather is duff and I believe they will want to make money each time they open the door. I think they'll not stay the course and we members will have to take over. We shall see.
