Northumbria Gliding Club

Our intrepid DofE volunteers from 1248 Prudhoe Squadron Air Cadets have been busy around the club these past few wintry weeks. Helping out on the field, trailer washing and breathing some new life into our old airside fences.

Many gliding clubs across the country are taking part in the upcoming National Women Go Gliding Weekend event.

You can find a list of clubs taking part & find your nearest one here https://www.gliding.co.uk/club-finder

We know that women and other minorities can often find it harder to get into gliding for a variety of reasons, so this annual event is one of a number of initiatives which aim to encourage more people to try gliding, and see how YOU can get involved in this incredible sport!

We encourage you to find out more and get in touch.

You can also download a Welcome Pack with more info about how to get started in gliding here: https://www.gliding.co.uk
