What is gliding all about?
Gliding is an air-sport that is exciting yet graceful. Whether a glider from the 1930's or from the present day, the feeling of freedom plus the amazing views of the Earth are a joy to behold.
The are not many physical constraints to gliding, and you can learn to fly a glider from the age of 14. From the age of 16 you can fly on your own solo. Some clubs are also able to offer flying for disabled pilots, but all aircraft operate within certain pilot payload limits.
For those wishing to get into the air at a relatively low cost, gliding does offer a relatively cost-effective way to fly, or learn to fly.
Where can you find us?
The club is situated on an ex-world war 2 airfield, South East of Bury St Edmunds and West of Stowmarket, Suffolk. A map of our location is here.
Want to drop by and see for yourself?
We welcome visiting glider pilots and the general public.
Powered aircraft are subject to local movement rules and as the airfield is on the edge of the RAF Wattisham MATZ.
If you have not visited an airfield before, there are some safety considerations to know before hand. Before you visit, please take time to look under safety.
Never flown before?
We very much welcome members of the public who wish to have a trial flight and we happily honour British Gliding Association flight vouchers.
