The club only operates on a Saturday and Sunday depending on the weather - please keep an eye on this post in case we have to move it due to high winds or rain

Parking is on site - we are asking for arrival before 10am to prevent any disruption, upon entering the site drive along the bumpy road – bear to the right then as you bear left park on the grass verge on the left

NOTE – Depending on the direction of the wind we may need to drive across the grass and park at the opposite end of the runway

Prior to walking around there will be a H&S brief and the areas where we are to remain, we are asking all members to adhere to these rules for their own safety

There is a kitchen on site for drinks and snacks and for a small charge usually do a sausage/bacon and egg buttie (yum yum)

For a small charge and availability they can take people up in a glider - £50 duration unknown - they accept cards

Flying normally starts around 10.40am, we can photograph the gliders while they are setting up

They have requested images and if possible videos of the gliders taking off and / or landing

As an added bonus the building near the edge of the field has a group of model enthusiats using remote controlled airplanes etc, I didn't speak to them but by all means pop along and ask if you can take photos
