For many years the club has been committed to helping young people access the sport of gliding. Aside from learning to fly, there are immense benefits to be gained from participation in airsports from an early age. These include learning lifetime skills valuable in both education and the workplace.

Regardless of the choice of career, a gliding background is a valuable feature of the CV and of course, becomes a lifetime passion.

Our Juniors are treated as equal members, sharing the same responsibilities on the airfield and enjoying the same benefits of membership. Some of our recent Juniors are still very active, our CFI and one of Deputies are former cadets, another is our Chief Tug Pilot.

Membership subscriptions are kept low for those aged 21 or below and rise gradually from then to the Full adult rate at aged 30.

If you are in full-time education and/or under 18 you should consider our Cadets scheme.
