Thanks for this. Last weekend we drove up (too many menacing cb's sadly) and I popped in to see them. They confirmed all you've said and I agree they're a very friendly bunch.
Basically, my tactic will be to mooch around to the NE at 2000' and have a look where the winch & launch site is. They typically have two cables so if I see two launch or if no one seems to be preparing to launch, then I'd come in and land in the same direction so not to get tangled up with any cables.
The grass strip seemed a bit lumpy - have you landed on the grass or did you stick to the concrete?
While we were there, a number of SEP's came in low over the village, so not everyone is observing the local rules - not sure if they were residents or not.
Anyway, hope to be back there in the next few weeks. I told my pal who's just moved into the village and is just 200 yds from the airfield that he now has to wear a hair shirt for being such a jammy git!
