1. The attached map shows the layout of the
airfield for the competition.
Competitors should note that the normal entry route has been changed for
the duration of the competition to protect access to the refuelling
installation by the tugs. Extra care
and a good lookout is needed for taxying
powered aircraft when joining the perimeter track adjacent to the hangar. The speed limit on the airfield site is
10mph.
2. Care should be taken when entering/exiting
the main gate as traffic on the Bicester ring road
can be fast. When entering travelling
in a westerly direction, it is recommended that you overshoot the gates to the
roundabout some 100 metres past the entrance, make a 180 degree turn at the
roundabout and enter the airfield travelling east
3. Caravans and tents are to be parked/erected only in the designated areas as shown on the
attached map. The only exception is that
tents may be erected in the caravan area if required.
4. There are two trailer parks for this Comptition. One is
on the edge of the airfield adjacent to the camping site. This limits of this
trailer park are defined by marker posts.
Please do not extend trailer or glider parking beyond the markers as
they will cause a flight safety hazard when 31 is in use. A second trailer park/rigging area is
located adjacent to the southern windsock, alongside the bomb dump fence. Both areas are shown on the site map.
5. The airfield entrance gate will be open from
0830 to 2200 each day. Outside these
hours the main gate will be locked with a combination lock, the code being
3421X. If you find the gate locked
and you open it to gain access, please ensure you relock it after
entry/exit. We have had caravans and
vehicles stolen during the past few months and this procedure is for your
protection; we
would be grateful if you would comply.
Only vehicles parked in the approved carpark
between the hangar and the control tower, or in the caravan park, may be
locked. Any vehicles parked on the
airfield, even if they are outside the perimeter track, must be left unlocked
with the keys available so that they can be moved if required. The Club assumes no responsibility for any
vehicle or its contents while within the site, whether it is locked or
not.
