Update:  the patching is finished.

The B920 is at last getting patched, but there will be road closures to facilitate this.  Full information is on the Road Closures page.

I have added links to the Pilot's Area for the new Flysafe reporting tool, and Kate's slides from her talk given on 30th March 2018

Gliding: The joy of being in complete harmony with the environment

At the board meeting on Saturday 2nd December 2017 we decided to extend the Student membership to everyone 26 or younger and change its name to Young Persons Membership.

There is now no requirement to be in full time education to receive the reduced fees. This means that members who are currently 26 or younger and are full members will get a reduction in their fees.

The Cadet and Youth memberships don't change.

I can't keep up.  Pete Williams and Jim Thomson finished the paperwork late on Sunday and it has flown today, Tuesday 28th November.

FUS was rigged on Sunday 26th Nov by Jim Thomson plus some helpers, and is now back in its hanger bay.  This means FFY is also back in its own bay.

There is some paperwork for it's annual & ARC to be completed before it can fly but that day is very close!
