Easy! I have a ticket issued by Eventbrite showing the date of the meeting as Wednesday 8th October.
So I walked there, and could not find any LBA signage or meeting! No great problem, but baffling!
I presume, on a serious note, that tonight's ticket will allow me access on November 13th!
Just a plot to ensure that on the night, only those opposed to LBA turn up! 🤔
 
I saw this in another site. I’m not sure it’s been posted before? FYI

LEEDS BRADFORD AIRPORT.
This afternoon we received this e-mail explaining the intention of the airport to ask for the controls governing night flying to be amended/relaxed. As yet we have seen no details of the proposal but when they become available we will let people know.

Dear Plans Panel Member

You will no doubt be aware that Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA) has been seeking to secure an agreed position with LCC on the correct legal interpretation of its night flight controls. Following appeals against three CLEUD decisions and the subsequent inspector’s decision, LBA are actively engaging with LCC to determine next steps and consequently the future scheduling of aircraft movements in the nighttime period.

This engagement has led LBA to seek an agreed position with LCC through amendments to its existing 2007 planning approval (P/07/02208/FU) via a s73 application. A s73 is an application to amend conditions within an existing consent, in this case P/07/02208/FU, not the submission of a new application.

The purpose of a s73 application would be to amend only those conditions that relate to nighttime flights. The attached briefing note explains this in greater detail, but the core principle is to focus conditions on limiting noise via a capped noise quota count system. Individual aircraft would be assigned a quota count value (noisier aircraft having a larger value, quieter aircraft a lower value) with LBA subject to a fixed, annual quota count limit, thus limiting LBA’s growth to those quieter aircraft with the lowest quota count values. This would bring LBA’s nighttime operating controls in line with current CAA and UK Government policy.

Critically, the proposals will also see the introduction of a new night noise insulation scheme benefiting local communities most affected by night noise.

The proposed changes will incentivise the introduction of quieter, more fuel efficient aircraft, with the growth of the airport therefore be linked to the introduction of New Engine Option (NEO) aircraft, not the older, noisier Current Engine Option (CEO) aircraft. It’s clear from the community consultation events LBA have been undertaking during 2025, that local communities around the airport want to see the introduction of the NEO aircraft as soon as possible, which the s73 application will drive airlines to deliver.

It’s LBA’s intention to submit the s73 application in November. The briefing note is an opportunity for you to gain an understanding of the proposals in advance of the application so any queries can be addressed in advance.

Thats very strange, no idea where that date came from. Well done for making the effort though. Im thinking you may be better to get a new ticket but if none available just turn up with that one. They've let people in without any ticket in the past.
 
The Everbrite website says, this morning, that the 13th November event is at THACKLEY!I think turning up with my ticket from last night on 13th November will have to suffice....provided the moving venue isn't at Odsal Stadium or some where equally bizarre! Over and out!

Eventbrite is telling me its Menston on the 13th of November, and always has.

survived a redundancy scenario where I work for the 3rd time. Now it looks likely I will get to cover work for 2 other teams.. Pretty please for a payrise? That would be a no and so stay on the min wage.
Live in Market Bosworth and take each day as it comes......
Well it looks like I'm off to Australia and New Zealand next year! Booked with BA from Manchester via Heathrow with a stop in Singapore and returning with Air New Zealand and BA via LAX to Heathrow. Will circumnavigate the globe and be my first trans-Pacific flight. First long haul flight with BA as well and of course Air NZ.
15 years at the same company was reached the weekend before last. Not sure how they will mark the occasion apart from the compulsory payirse to minimum wage (1st rise for 2 years; i was 15% above it back then!)
