Flying at Longham has been approved subject to a formal agreement being signed between the landowners, Sembcorp Bournemouth Water Ltd and the Club. We expect this to be some time in November, with a start date for flying on 1 Jan 2012.
Flying will be by Permit only will be managed by Longham Lake Model Flying Group on behalf of the Club. Anyone wanting a permit to fly must first join (or be a member of) the Club.
Permit applications will be available as soon as the agreement is signed. Fliers must be BMFA members, and solo flying will be restricted to holders of A and above fixed wing certificates. Uncertified fliers may have permits but must be supervised when flying.

UPDATE SEPTEMBER 2011
Permission was granted for us to fly on Saturday 3 September (the visit of the Canadians to the “BIMBO” weekend) and a very successful demonstration of flying boats and floatplanes was given, attended by the recreation manager and two other members of the Management Board.
Trevor and I have been invited to make a presentation to the Board in the near future, to which we will invite the BMFA Flying Site Adviser, Roger Bellingham
Keep those fingers crossed! Not when you are actually flying, of course...
