BGA TPs 2026
There are proposed local changes for 2026. The name of the BGA waypoint of The Park will be "Park-the" replacing "Park, the". Pilots will need to note the change when using the new file in navigation devices. There will be new points at Wimborne St Giles and Rockbourne, which should give us more scope for tasks. If anyone wants to apply for a new TP anywhere you have until 1st February.
Caravan Phone
O2 have withdrawn the caravan phone number, so currently there is no working phone in the caravan.
