Airfield
The Park
The airfield is situated at Kingston Deverill a few miles south of Warminster, close to
the Wiltshire/Dorset border, just North of Mere. See the maps
for further details.
History
The club was formed in 1963 as the Bath Gliding
Club, eventually becoming the Bath & Wilts Gliding Club. Until our move to
The Park in 1992, when the club became the Bath Wilts and North Dorset
Gliding Club, the club flew from Keevil airfield. There are currently around
120 flying members, and around 40 privately owned gliders.
There are no paid staff, all club functions are provided by club members.
