2008 Courses

 7th to 11th April - 5 days, 9 am to 5 pm - maximum 3 students - £390. Instructor - Phil Penrose.

For this 5 day course students should expect a minimum of 14 winch launches plus one aerotow plus one hour in the motor glider or 20 winch launches or equivalent air time. The course fee includes 3 months membership of the club where students can continue their training after the course by booking lessons at the weekends.


14th to 18th July - 5 evenings, 6 pm to 9pm - maximum 2 students - £180. Instructor - Robert Tait.

For this 5 evening course students should expect a minimum of 10 winch launches or equivalent if the motor glider or aerotow is used for part of the training. The course fee includes 3 months membership of the club where students can continue their training after the course by booking lessons at the weekends.


All courses will include some classroom type instruction but the emphasis will be on spending time in the air flying the glider. All students will be provided with a flying training manual, log book and training record card. The courses are primarily aimed at novices but if you have any previous flying experience your training will be tailored to your needs.

If as sometimes happens, the weather doesn't co-operate, a refund of part of the course fee would apply pro-rata where we were unable to provide all the planned flying time.

If you would like to book a place on a course please contact the club by email or telephone Martin on 01343 812700.

A £50 non-refundable fee will be required to secure a place on any of the courses.
