Right, sorry, I should have done this already....
Just called them and there's no specific PPR requirements, so they're happy for people to just turn up on the day and announce themselves over RT, although the usual call ahead to check the weather etc. might be a good idea as the Vale of York can be misty/murky/wet etc. when it's nice in the surrounding area. 01977 682674
There are no special arrangements in place for the fly-in - we'd expect a number of visiting aircraft anyway, but I've been asked to remind you to PLEASE READ THE NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES and avoid overflying the local villages on arrival/departure. Expect a standard overhead join.
I checked that there's no work or anything else unexpected which might be a problem on the day and all the dragons and whippets have been removed from the manouvering areas, so there's no need for you southerners to have any innoculations before the trip.
As for fuel, I got it a bit wrong. The price for visitors is higher - 96p. inc. VAT. This is partly explained by a recent price increase, and partly by some kind of partial VAT reclaim which makes it cheaper for club aircraft. Sorry if I mislead above. I checked, and there will be no landning fee for anyone who buys fuel. Even if you have to pay, it's only a fiver!
Weather for Saturday from BBC website - sunny with partial cloud, wind 12mph from SW - if rwy 24 is in use expect some windsheer on final from the trees/club buildings adjacent to the threashold.
Airfield opening hours 09:30 to 20:00.
By the way, how many locally based pruners are coming? At least 4 or 5 have expressed an interest and I was checking the other day and managed to find at least 12 who have posted here recently. Perhaps you could put entries on the fly-in booking page leaving the aircraft blank?
Hopefully see you all on Saturday.
Gary.
