Rosie: Future of Nimes and Beziers threatened

Editor:  Rosie has alerted Scriveners to the potential closure of our local airports at Nimes and
Beziers due to economic cuts.  This is documented in the first article below.  The second link will
take you directly to the petition for which as many signatures as possible are being sought. 

The first link is to the article, with link included in the article itself. The second goes straight to the petition...

As most of us know, travel to the UK is effective
from Nimes (to Luton) or from Beziers (to Bristol (in the West of England).  While Ryanair (whom we all love to loathe but also use) travels to destinations in Europe (namely Charleroi in Belgium or Frankfurt-Hahn which is about 90 miles from Frankfurt but let's not quibble), Montpellier's own
wonderful airport does not have Ryanair service to
the UK - so losing Beziers and Nimes would have us
all going to Marseilles for a non-stop flight to the UK.

Please read the article and vote for keeping our wonderful little airports open.  If you don't think flying through them is wonderful - then take a trip
to CA's Oakland Airport or SFO or LAX, or La Guardia in NJ, or Miami, FL,  just to see how fortunate we are.
