Stephen Smith 14 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Posted by SONNY MONKS on 15/12/2018 16:55:21: but where are the fields? Plenty of fields in Yorkshire, just need to get out there find what your looking for and approach the land owner/farmer in a professional manner and bingo you have a field. We did a couple of years ago and now have what must be one best sites in the country, 150x50 metres drive in and pit from the boot, club house, heating, cooking facilities, and no restrictions. Full membership already and a waiting list. Don't listen to all the gloom and doom merchants that say it's not possible it is you just need to put in the work.

nigel newby Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I have been looking for an easy/closer club. I knew that they flew at Kempton park racecourse. Looked them up on the web and found they had been kicked off in 2015, so they could put up houses. As of now, they still have not even applied for planning permission. That's 3 years that the club could have been flying there. This is what we are up against.

Nigel N Edited By nigel newby on 16/12/2018 01:13:10 I can beat that one Nigel, our club lost a field due to the land needed for houses in 2001 We were relocated, and the previous field remains untouched with NO house builds 2018 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Simmons Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Sadly the developers are known to buy land and sit on it knowing that the value will go up. The less land available for development, the more expensive it will be. It's all for PROFIT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian Smith 1 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Quite right, Percy. It just shows your approach and hard work can bring results. For me, to find a suitable site to fly from took a bit of driving around the county and in excess of 150 letters to local farmers. It only takes one positive reply and like you the chap wasn't convinced to start off with as there was already a full size aircraft operating from his land. A combination of the colour of money and a direct approach to the full size aircraft syndicate did the trick and I now have the option to fly off a great runway. I also cut the grass for them too! Additionally, I do belong to another local club where I fly my smaller electrics. So a foot in two camps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
