flights with my motor glider

I was looking through the website of Calais aeroclub, based at Calais airport and came across an article published in the local newspaper, Voice of the North, which explains why the airport cafe was shut down. It seems that the Security Commission, whoever they are, decided that the cafe did not conform to their security requirements, and that it needed a 200,000 Euro upgrade. Calais Chamber of Commerce could not afford this and so this delightful little cafe/restaurant was shut down. Shame on whoever at the Security Commission achieved this little victory. Bromley Council will probably headhunt this individual for their own head of shutting things down.

Here is the link to the article if you wish to read more, and obtain a picture of Jenny Fournier who made the cafe such a wonderful place to visit.

  Very sad and pointless---always welcoming--lovely lady.
  There are rumours that it may reopen.--great if true.

  Hi malcolm
  
  this seems typical of todays society ... we get fewer and fewer good services due to the fact we have far too many "Quality auditors " !! who despite having no training themselves in what they are doing run around with clipboards condemming the efforts of others ....
  
  this is certainly true in the public sector !!
  regards
  Shaun
