cotswold gliding club
The Cotswold Gliding Club has over 150 members of all ages and over 75 gliders
based on the airfield. Formed in 1964, the club boasts some of the best gliding
facilities in the country. Our members come from all backgrounds, with our
youngest pilots flying solo at 14 years of age and some older pilots flying well
into their 80s. Being an active club, we host many events throughout the year
including national gliding competitions (with over 60 gliders participating),
global gliding meetings (we hosted the 2023 International Vintage Glider Rally),
and other aviation events, including ballooning, throughout the year. We have a
range of two seater and training gliders, that will take you from an absolute
beginner through to learning advanced soaring and cross-country flying. Our
welcoming mix of members makes this the ideal location for you to learn the
basics of gliding and to become an active club member. Details of our membership
options can be found on our website.
