A better way to enjoy your time
Join the Club
The club is run by volunteers which means our instructors and tug pilots give up their time for free enabling you the opportunity to fly at very reasonable rates.
Being a member offers a diverse array of benefits from learning to fly to simply meeting new friends and enjoying a very social day out at the club.
Introductory Flights
Flying in a Glider is a totally unique method of flight. We offer First Flight Experiences for those who want an introduction to glider flying and Introductory Lessons for those ready to learn to fly a glider. Whether you’re interested yourself or are buying a gift for someone else take a look at what we offer.
Learn to Fly
Learning to be a glider pilot is challenging and exciting. Our fully qualified instructors will guide you through a syllabus laid down by the British Gliding Association in dual controlled two-seat gliders. They will help you build the skills required to handle the glider, whilst developing your judgmental ability.
