Learning to fly

New Members
New members are always welcome. If you are interested in flying, come along and take a trial lesson or join the club. We would be happy for you to just drop in on a flying day

Training
Gliding training is organised under the supervision of the British Gliding Association (BGA). Almost anyone can learn to glide. You can start at any age. There is no top age limit and you can go solo as young as 16. There are weight restrictions on the club two seaters.

Instruction is available every weekend and Bank Holiday.

There is no charge for instruction as the instructors are all club members giving their time for free. The only cost on top of annual membership is the launch and soaring charge.

If you have never flown in a glider before and want to find out what flying one is like come along for a trial lesson in a two seater glider with a qualified instructor

 

Cadet and Junior membership

Reduced price membership, with lower launch and soaring charges are available to younger members. Cadets are those under age 18 and Juniors are under 21, or under 25 in full time education
