I'm forwarding this on, as Enstone airfield is under threat as per below. Apologies if this is the wrong forum or an inappropriate post, but thought I'd give it a shot.
Some of you may be aware that the Enstone land owners want to turn it into a wind or solar farm which will close the main and southern grass runways. OSF have been advised that they stand a good chance of fighting this. I forward the message below. If anyone is also a OSF member please attend and support this.
Things are getting time critical with the negotiations with Lowman Holdings ( The Landlords ) and OSF. I have decided that it is now time to call a meeting to explain the situation and to receive members input. At the meeting I will be suggesting the setting up of a fund to cover solicitors costs. I do not think that the Directors of OSF should fund any action by them selves and indeed may be reticent to do so entirely. I also will be speaking to Paul Fowler down the other end to muster his members to support the fund (not this meeting) as well.
Short notice I know but We are nominating Saturday 29th Jan 2011 for 11am start at OSF.
Please have a ring round other OSF members you know as I do not have any members contact details. This will be possibly the most important meeting O.S.F has ever held. Thinking about it I cannot remember them ever having one (with their members that is!!). See You Sat.
Cheers
