In our dreams we are able to fly . . . and that is a remembering of how we were meant to be.— Madeleine L'Engle
Gliding is one of the purest forms of flight. Staying aloft for many hours and travelling for many hundreds of kilometers using only the power of the sun is an experience truly not to be missed. It is also an exceedingly diverse sport:- once trained you can choose between cruising over miles of green countryside, to spectacular up-close views of mountain ranges or even aerobatics. It's up to you.....

If you wish to join the club either pay via the Union Shop or you can join at the meeting on Friday. Membership is £40 for students.
Come and find us at the Fresher's Fair, we're the ones next to the glider
Or come to one of our weekly meetings on Fridays at 12:30 in Aeronautics 254, just follow the signs!
Come along and find out more about the club, ask questions and join. Or if you aren't sure if you want to join, why not take a no obligation trial flight? Subject to weather, we fly every Saturday and Sunday, and at the moment arrange minibus transport. Couldn't be a better time to have a go!
