Welcome to Devon and Somerset Gliding Club

In line with the latest Government restrictions on recreational aviation, with effect 27th December 2020, DSGC has suspended normal flying operations.

Trial Lessons are postponed until further notice, expired vouchers have been extended.  The Booking system will be re-enabled when we can restart Trial flights, in the meantime all vouchers are sold with 18 months validity.

 

Want to learn to glide? .. Start by buying a Trial lesson - (they make a great present)

 The Devon and Somerset Gliding Club is the largest gliding club in the South West and has allowed its members to enjoy the magic of gliding for 60 years. We have a modern fleet of club gliders, good club facilities and a team of BGA qualified instructors who provide training to help new members let slip the surly bonds of earth and dance the skies on laughter-silvered wings. The club is open on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays.

We offer trial lessons and flying courses for the aspiring glider pilot, as well as conversion or advanced courses for experienced pilots. Whatever your skill level and flying experience, Devon and Somerset Gliding Club (DSGC) is the place for you, and the challenges and rewards keep on coming, whatever level you reach.
