National Women's Go Gliding Weekend, Banbury GC

National Women’s Go Gliding Weekend, Banbury GC

On the weekend of 27 and 28 April, the National Women’s Go Gliding Weekend comes to gliding clubs all over the country, giving women and girls of all ages the opportunity to try gliding.

Banbury Gliding Club is participating in the National Women’s Go Gliding Weekend on Saturday 27 April and you can have your first gliding lesson on that day.

After a safety briefing and a trip to the the launch point, you will be shown the aircraft – and receive your first briefing from your instructor.  You and your instructor will then be launched behind our Eurofox 915 tug to a suitable height for you to be taught some basic manoeuvres.

As this is a lesson, with the support of the instructor, you will do most of the flying yourself; your instructor will manage the take off and landings…

The cost for this session will be £50.  This will include your membership for the day, your flight and refreshments.  There will be a BBQ available for you to purchase hot food if you so desire.
