Geocache Description:

Coords are for the entrance but provide no help for the cache.
A bit of research is in order for this simple cipher. The clue is in the title and maybe the club to which a man who would make a stone for an old church for example may belong, I would keep this a secret but we all need a little help..

This is a WWII airfield used for training. I did a parachute jump here some time back but now it is mainly a trading estate and a type of farm! The image below was written using a very old cipher which has a link with the airfields current use! solve it and get the coords for a standard sized cache hidden not far away. There is a small pull in next to the cache and it is placed on a bridleway so car or foot approach is possible. Have fun..

Babdown Airfield near Tetbury was opened in 1940 and closed in 1948. It was a Flying Training Command Advanced Flying Unit part of 23 Group RAF (HQ RAF South Cerney) During its peak there were 571 RAF Personnel and 223 WAAF personnel. It had a Somerfield Steel Matting Track landing area with Grass surrounds. In 1944 it was occupied by No. 15 (Pilot) Training Unit and No. 1532 Blind Approach Training (BAT) Flight.
Ther are some remains of original buildings but its past is all but obliterated.
