One point, base leg for 22 should be closer in now - to avoid overflying a neighbour. Keep it west of the railway if posible. Awaiting an updated noise-abatement chart.

Mike,
I'm thinking of going there on Saturday - is there decent food nearby (village?) and how long does it take to walk there?
Failing that, are there any refreshments available on the airfield?
Thanks.

Nothing on the field but a good pub - The Wheatsheaf half a mile walk away in the village.
Last year we had similar shenanigans with less people so next year we'll be having a barbecue on the airfield and drinking our own beer rather than the Wheatsheaf's.
Hopefully you won't arrive to find that days quota of covers already taken.
Oaksey Park is delightful and quiet (except when we're there). Take a picnic and eat it in peace sitting on the verandah. You can get a hot drink from a machine in the clubhouse.

Can I suggest you call Dick Thrush the Airfield manager before setting off they've a cap on movements due to planning restrictions. I think they also have a movements curfew to avoid disturbing the neighbours. They've had a change if radio frequency which I can't remember off the top of my head, but if you call you can check that and the noise abatement sites. It's a lovely spot i'm sure you'll enjoy it.
