Accessing Our Facilities

Cotswold Model Car Club is situated on Cotswold AirPort, a private, live 24/7 active airfield. As of 2023 the club have revised guidelines which we require all members and racers to follow when using the club facilities.

AirPort Entry & Exit Protocol

  • Non-members attending weekend club meetings or practice days cannot be provided with the airport gate access code under any circumstances for out-of-hours access.
  • Gate opening times: Saturday 08:00 – 17:00, Sunday 08:00 – 16:00.
  • Only if you know the car directly behind you is a racer may you continue. Otherwise, stop and ensure the gate closes behind you.
  • If you are the car behind, stop to enter the monthly membership code. Wait if you’re last in line or unsure of the car behind.
  • CCTV is fully operational. Anyone who knows the code understands the system.
  • Do not engage in conflict. Refer others to the airport security team (phone number is on the gates).
  • On exit, ensure the gate closes behind you before continuing. Same rules apply as entry.
  • If unauthorized access leads to injury or theft, the airport is liable — this may impact the club’s future.
  • Do not roam the site. Stick to highlighted areas only. You will be escorted off the airport if found outside these zones.

Parking Rules

  • NO PARKING on any tarmac area.
  • All parking must be on the grass around the track.
  • No parking on other grass or outside the designated track area.
