Shenington Gliding Club is one of the most dynamic and progressive
gliding clubs in the country, with an increase in membership of 300% since
1991. We pride ourselves on making everybody feel welcome. There is a thriving
social life - during summer there are regular club barbecues, whilst in
winter there is the usual round of seasonal parties. The longer winter
evenings and non-flying days are ideal for formal and informal gliding
lectures, usually followed by a trip to a local hostelry for refreshments.
Our members range from teenagers to octogenarians and come from all walks of life. We believe we have one of the highest ratios of active flying female club members in the country at all levels of experience.
Shenington Airfield is a great site, with a NW facing ridge, excellent Cotswold edge thermals, no airspace problems. The airfield is at the top of the ridge with good drainage which enables us to operate all year round.
With professional instructors and fully qualified member instructors available 7 days a week you can fly whenever you like.
We have a fully equipped clubhouse with bunkhouse, cooking and shower facilities as well as a bar. There is also on-site catering available at peak times. You may camp or caravan on site or stay in one of the excellent local B&B's. Details available on request.
