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.

comfort of the more conventional enclosed cabin
