I have amended the original post, as per the quote above.
PILOTS: Please don’t get turned away on the day because you haven’t rung in advance!
DRIVERS: Cars need no permission, please just turn up and tell the friendly man on the gate that you are going to The Squadron to sign the protest form.

Like Nick says,
if you can get some of the forms over to Popham for next Saturday. I think you might find a small but like minded group of individuals down there who would be happy to sign a few for you.
Let me know

Merlin:
Sadly West Malling failed!
It did but for reasons that hopefully do not apply to North Weald.
I will check out the NWAUG site.

Merlin: If I wasn’t on a stupidly sssssloooooooww laptop, I would look up the website address of the North Weald Airfield Users Group. That would give you all the information you need. They have done an immense amount of detailed research, they also welcome any suggestions.
Sadly West Malling failed!
Paperwork for the protest? I’ll come back to you on that.

I’m hoping to make the trip and give my support.
Aren’t there enough houses around London????????????
John Prescott thinks we need to fill in the fields between Epping and Harlow.

Sounds an interesting idea. I will try to make it.
Will there be anyone there with a battle plan and planning/legal knowledge, plus an alternative solution?
Has anyone contacted former members of the Save West Malling Action Group. They may have vital knowledge concerning the tactics used by the promoter.
It would be beneficial to make available the promoter’s evidence that they will use to form their business case for destroying a via airfield and buiding rabbit hutches.
The more info you can provide me with the more ideas I can come up with. An executive summary might assist me. (Time poor I’m afraid, so can’t help on the campaign trail)

i was just adding with the giggle (as it were). they need to invent an expression board so jokes can be made to look funny…. re-reading my post i sounded like a nob!!!
I’d love to go but 1)ive missed mothers day three years ina row due to bike race meets…. think she might hit the roof if i missed this one cos of planes!! and 2)im still training!!!
By: met24 - 21st February 2005 at 16:38
That was my point Tony 🙂
Then again, the pilot and the plane might not like the idea of going directly in a straight line. The last time I tried a touch-and-go the plane said ‘Wheee!’ and made for the trees. Frisky beasties these Emeraudes, but lovely with it.

I will be there … assuming I don’t get … ahem, ‘temporarily unsure of my position’ on the way over from Stapleford.
is that actually possable??? Dont you just take off from 04 and then your on final for North Weald ;0)

Janie,
Think I may need a copy of the paperwork as well, think it will be unlikely I’ll be able to make it either.
