Bache site fee change
Posted by Geoff Minshull at 2010-06-03 20:28

Hi,

as you no doubt know, a daily site fee was payable directly to the farmer for flying this members-only site. This was a bit of a pain to collect and pay, and inevitably some people didn't always pay it - e.g. if they intended to pay after flying, but disappeared off on a cross country. So the committee has now arranged that there is no site fee for individuals who are free flying, which makes it a lot more convenient for everyone, both our members and the owner.

Comps are still liable for the site fees, but that will be sorted out with them when they arrange competition dates with us.

Just to clarify, this only refers to the lower, LMSC, launch - not the higher launch, which is not managed by the LMSC, and belongs to a different farmer.

I did wonder where you were Mike!

The arrangement for the gate key is still the same - if you are the first one there, you need to pick it up from the farm, and make sure it is returned at the end. Nothing we can do about that, it's a Forestry Commission rule, rather than the farmer's. They own the access road.
