Changes at Model Ridge

Model Ridge has been purchased by a new landowner, who plans to develop the facilities.He has submitted planning approval to:-

• Re-furbish and re-open the cafe in 2013
• Build an amenities block with improved toilets and shower facilities
• Develop a farm shop selling locally produced meat
However, he (and his insurers) has concerns over:-
• The wide range of unstructured or uncontrolled activities on his land, including potentially unsocial activities such as wild camping/fires/raves/paramotoring/trials bikes etc
• Haphazard car parking on recently seeded verges.

Under instruction from his insurers, he has written to the NYSC and requested all flying activities cease forthwith

Representatives from the NYSC committee have contacted and subsequently met with the new owner and given him the following assurances.

The club will regulate and control all paragliding and hangliding activities
Ensure ALL pilots (whether intending to fly, or simply ground handling) are both NYSC members and fully paid up BHPA members (and be able to prove such)

Assist in the management of the site by actively promoting litter control, parking cars responsibly and ensure pilots behave in a civilised manner.

The owner has allowed us to fly within these conditions under a trial period , however, any breach in our administration may cause him to re-evaluate this courtesy.

Carlton due to the arrangment with land owners is a NYSC members site only now.

So please join and support the club after a massive effort to get access to the road up and the takeoff.

Also strict rules are enforced here with access to the top of the moor now sorted.

There are 8 key holders in total please login to the web site to get there details.(Will be in a tab of it own on the left hand side menu)

THEY WILL NOT LEND YOU THE KEY(PLEASE DO NOT ASK REFUSAL OFTEN OFFENDS), THEY WILL ONLY OPEN UP THE GATE AND ALLOW ACCESS UP AND DOWN.
