Join the Club
Based at Sandhill Farm in the beautiful Vale of White Horse in Oxfordshire we are a small friendly club. The club is a member of the British Gliding Association and operates under its rules and guidance. Membership is open to all. Details of current subscription rates, flying costs etc., can be found below.
We offer novices and experienced glider pilots the chance to fly in a beautiful part of the country where there is excellent thermal activity and the potential for extensive cross-country flights.
Gliding
Gliding is probably the cheapest way to learn to fly with membership open to both experienced pilots and the absolute beginner. The Vale of White Horse Gliding Centre is a voluntary organisation, run by its members for its members you are expected to get involved and assist with the operation of the airfield. Running a gliding club needs many varied skills and your skills might complement the existing skill base - as well as learning to fly a glider you might also learn other new skills. Our membership and flying fees are reasonable and our instructors are volunteers so we do not charge for instruction.
To join the club please fill in the Membership Form.
Please bring the completed form with you on your first visit to the club.
