Open days
On one weekend each year, the Club opens its doors to members of the public, and offers trial lesson flights without pre-booking, on a first come, first served basis.
The Open weekend in 2012 is on Saturday 2nd June and Sunday 3rd June. It all starts at 09:00am.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to fly in a glider? Come to our Open weekend and you can experience silent flight while flying with a qualified Instructor. You can even try the controls.
Special Rate
On our Open Weekend, there is a special rate of £25, this includes 3 months membership and 1 winch launch. Flight time will be a maximum of 15 minutes, but is dependent on the weather.
Who can glide?
There are some restrictions on pilot height and weight. Young people under the age of 18 will require a parent or guardian's written consent. Also there are a few medical conditions which may make it unsafe to fly.
If you are uncertain or want to discuss things first, please contact the club for further information.
