We were all talking about it over erh week-end.

it seesm the fact is that we are using the feild for non agricultural purposes (despite the fact we fly "over" teh land)

No, it seesm we are being asked to close, as this is a law that has been on the books for a very long time, and is finally being applied.

There is another field, about 5km down the road. And they want us to consolidate all into one feild, rather than a few. But then we end up with 300+ members and a worse feild, and get only a flight or two in.

There is also a rumour, that someone is sore. They wanted to start a club, or had an issue with their local one. They were one of "those types' of people". And since he was shot donw / brushed aside / not given the respect he expected, he went and complained to the gove'ment. So, the govment looked ito it, and is applying teh law to all. No ifs, ands, or buts.
