While BAA continues to make its case for a third runway at Heathrow, the plot of land we bought on the proposed site is still there, and the allotment Richard Briers helped establish has been providing the local community with all manner of produce. Leeks, potatoes, cabbages, rhubarb and blackberries were harvested, although many of the apples were scrumped and reappeared later as bottles of cider.
We now have 57,000 people who've agreed to be beneficial owners of this land (if you haven't become one, you still can) and it feels like the tide is turning. But we still need your help, now more than ever.
With a general election looming next year, this is the time to keep the pressure on all the parties, and make sure we stop airport expansion and save our climate. That's where you come in.
We need you to get together with a few people you know - whether it's fellow team members or enthusiasts, evening class colleagues, college or work mates - we'd like you to do something easy, fun and imaginative which supports the campaign and is going to get noticed.
It's an opportunity to unleash your collective creativity and come up with a brilliant, bizarre and wonderfully executed idea. Know a few regular boardgame players? Play a giant game of planes and ladders. Are you in with a bunch of baking enthusiasts? Rustle up a cake in the shape of a runway strip.
I know you'll have much better ideas than those, but whatever you do, tell your MP about it so they know how you feel about airport expansion and what it means for climate change.
Everything you need to know about getting your idea off the ground is in the downloadable toolkit, with advice on finding people to help you, getting your fantastic idea noticed, and approaching your MP. There are also useful goodies to print off like badge templates and Airplot logos.
Me? I'm going to see if I can get my science evening class doing something astonishing for Airplot.
