Make it cheaper than tollerton, I understand it's not the cheapest.
Compared to a lot of airfields in the south of the UK I think you'll find the charges are very reasonable. £2400+VAT a year for hangarage (PA28 Warrior) which includes unlimited landings - plus out of hours unlicensed use when the airfield's closed - there are a lot of people out there who'd give their right arm for that sort of arrangement.
Newton is grass and gets
very soggy when wet. People's efforts would be better directed in keeping an all weather airfield like Nottingham open after the lease is up.
You have an additional problem with Newton - all the ex-military married quarters were modernised and sold off to people
outside of aviation. You'd probably find that you'd be trying to re-open an airfield with its own NIMBY population. Far easier to keep an existing open one going I'm afraid.
