Tuition and Membership Options
We offer a number of different ways you can try gliding
• One-off experience flights,
• Group sessions,
• Flying Start ~ trial membership packages,
• Junior Membership, and
• Social Membership (non-flying)
If you’re brand new to gliding or aviation in general we’d recommend visiting the club and trying an experience flight to get a feel for what’s involved and meet some of our members.
Gliding Experience
An introductory Flight with one of our experienced instructors is a great way to try the sport for the first time.
We offer either a winch launch or an aerotow (towed behind a powered aircraft). In general the aero-tow will give a longer flight, however the right weather conditions can sometimes give long flight times.
The maximum flight time is 30 minutes.
Prices 2024
Winch Launch £65
Aerotow to 2,000 feet £ 130
Group Sessions
Are you looking for something unique for a corporate event, or a private gathering? Is your Scout troupe looking for their next adventure?
We can provide evening sessions for a minimum of 8 people aerotow launch. Subject to our safety restrictions it makes an interesting experience that will provide great memories and a talking point for years to come.
We run the events on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
