Alternative plans for RAF Lyneham
A Center Parc-type redevelopment of RAF Lyneham forms just some of the alternative plans proposed for when the airbase ceases to operate later this year.
The event is being hosted by club-owner Eddie Shah, who is asking for a 'quick decision' from the Ministry of Defence over the future of the base.
"The army using the site is the best option, of course," he said, "but we have to think ahead and think quickly as to what will happen if they decide not to use RAF Lyneham for military use.
"The base is crucial in this area economically, and it's up us to show the way forward with a commercial solution if needs be."
