Selby Eco Town

Could all members please e-mail flightdesk@sherburnaeroclub.com with their views on the proposed 'Eco Town'

We need to know as soon as possible as there is a proposal to build a very large Eco housing development at gascoigne wood that will extend across the threshold of 29 runway all the way to Digby's farm at the back of the clubhouse.

This is very important so please don't delay, send your for/against e-mail to the flightdesk Please mark the subject as 'Eco'

York Press Have been running articles on these contravertial plans click here for more info


Revised Days of Opening

Due to the general difficult economic climate and the lack of bookings early in the week the Club will be closed on Mondays as from the 12th May. Private owners will be able to fly should they wish though the airfield will be unlicensed, fuel will not be available, aircraft will have to be handled by owners, and the Club-House will be closed. As and when there is an upturn in demand then we will revert to 7 day opening. V & V Day will go ahead as planned on Monday 26th May

We are also "moth-balling" three aircraft, two PA28s and the Robin CK
