Getting Started

Welcome Talk

The best way to get started is to come along to our Welcome Talk on Thursday the 17th at 19:00 in Appleton Tower room 2.11! We will have a presentation with all the information you need to know about gliding, how to get flying, and what to expect.

How to get started

If you're a new member, here are the steps to get you in the air!

• Buy membership from the EUSU page (£95 trial flight, includes a year's membership)
• Sign up to the mailing list (instruction on how to join). We send out a form each week for flying that weekend. Put your name down and if you're picked for flying that week we will send an email with further information. Due to demand we can't guarantee you fly the first time you sign up, but if you keep signing up we will definitely get you flown!
• Join the WhatsApp group where we answer questions, organise last-minute flying and generally talk about gliding.
• Come along to one of our trial flight briefings - they're usually held at 19:00 each Thursday, exact time and location will be sent out in the weekly email. We will cover essential safety topics as well as going over some useful information about the airfield, and what to expect. We do require that all new members attend a trial flight briefing no more than one month prior to their first flight.
