Group evenings

Group evenings / corporate days are a brilliant way for a group of friends, work colleagues, social or youth group to get together for an evening in the summer and experience the thrill of flying a glider and getting a unique view of the Devon countryside. Bookings  for Groups days / evenings in 2024 are open.

We ask for a minimum of 10 people wishing to fly in your group, but often friends and family also come along to watch and sometimes end up having a flight themselves!  The evenings start at about 5.30-6.00pm and the flying carries on until we have finished flying your group or it gets too dark to fly!

We launch you using our winch, with a qualified instructor at the controls of the glider.  Once in the air, you will have the opportunity to take control and experience flying a glider for yourself.  You will be in the air for up to 15 minutes, but flight times can be shorter than this depending on the weather conditions.

We offer groups a discounted rate of £50 per person which includes one winch launch.  Should time allow, you may take additional flights at only £15.

There are some restrictions on pilot height and weight. Young people under the age of 18 will require a parent or guardian's written consent. Download Temporary Membership form (pdf).  Also there are a few medical conditions which may make it unsafe to fly.

We can also fly groups on non-Club flying days by special arrangements, or maybe an afternoon/evening session complete with a barbeque / picnic, please discuss your requirements with John.
