We offer pilot training in our modern fleet of two seat gliders and the opportunity to fly our single seat gliders once qualified.  Training is carried out by BGA (British Gliding Association) qualified instructors.

Gliding is an affordable way of exploring the skies as your training with instructors is included in the prices that we charge, but both membership and flying charges here at the D&SGC are very competitive, and you can find these under both the members and visitors section of this site.

Once you have joined, you will not only learn to fly, but as everything is carried on on a voluntary basis, you will also learn to operate our winch, land rovers and other equipment, as well as help retrieve and launch gliders, or perhaps act as a log keeper at our launch point operation.

To help you become a successful glider pilot we also offer theory briefings and lectures.

Our clubhouse also offers a full catering facility on our usual flying days, Wednesdays, Thursdays and weekends throughout the year.

During the summer we also run week long courses.  These are open to everyone irrespective of previous experience and are a brilliant way to kick start your gliding career or provide a boost to your training with a full week of flying, weather permitting of course!

Trial Lesson Evenings are also very popular during the summer so if you have a group of friends, work colleagues, social or youth group, we can arrange a team of instructors helpers and gliders just for you and at a specially discounted rate!
