Cotswold Gliding Club

The Cotswold Gliding Club has over 150 members of all ages and over 75 gliders based on the airfield. Formed in 1964, the club boasts some of the best gliding facilities in the country. Our members come from all backgrounds, with our youngest pilots flying solo at 14 years of age and some older pilots flying well into their 80s. Being an active club, we host many events throughout the year including national gliding competitions (with over 60 gliders participating), global gliding meetings (we hosted the 2023 International Vintage Glider Rally), and other aviation events, including ballooning, throughout the year. We have a range of two seater and training gliders, that will take you from an absolute beginner through to learning advanced soaring and cross-country flying. Our welcoming mix of members makes this the ideal location for you to learn the basics of gliding and to become an active club member. Details of our membership options can be found on our website.
