I'm delighted to say that it hasn't closed now, nor is likely to.
After some lengthy discussions which are still going on, and best kept between the club membership and our landlords, I'm very glad to say that we have all found common ground that will allow the airfield to be kept open for the indefinite future, and Chilbolton Flying Club will remain where it belongs and has been happy for several decades.
So, if you want to fly in - the information in Pooleys, etc. remains correct. If you are interested in joining the club, drop me a PM and I can give you a bit more information about what things are, cost, etc. at the moment and in the future.
The Abbotts Mitre, about half an hour's walk into the middle of Chilbolton village does great Italian food these days as well.
