Good question. Can you be a member if you don't have a plane? (ie. there will be planes for those who can fly to use?)

At this time I am gauging how nuch interest we may have to form a flying club, I currently have a fixed wing microlight that could be used/or I could give flights to anyone interested.

Given the strength of the wind that blows across that airfield, plus the length of the runway, if you start at one end and work up to a fast trot, flapping arms furiously, becoming more frantic as you go, building up speed, couple of strong farts and ....nah, you shouldn't need a 'plane.

Sorry, I know I'm not funny but I couldn't resist that.
