JP has moved on to pastures new, although he still visits reasonably regularly. The aforementioned Dave Biddles is now CFI of Leicestershire Aero Club.
The grumpy chap on the radio during the week has also moved on, so the Air Ground service is much more friendly (phew!).
There's a lot more rotary traffic than there used to be as well, but they seem to be quite civilised.
Curry nights are still on Thursdays, with monthly bar quizzes, and there are monthly gatherings on Saturday nights as well. This weekend (3rd) is March's offering of Pie and a Pint, lights can be turned on as required while there's someone there.
