Thanks to Ivan for the video and these great photos! Ivan joined us in the summer for work experience and it seemed liked the perfect opportunity to introduce him to gliding. We really enjoyed having you as part of our team Ivan and it looks like you had a good time too!

Well done to BGFC member, Jordan Johnson, who has officially set 8 new UK Gliding records! 👏

It’s a great place to develop a new skill and stretch your boundaries. 👏

Great to meet and fly so many women during our recent Womens Gliding ‘Weekend’ which actually ran over three days and two weekends to accommodate demand for places!

Our participants – some of which are pictured below - ranged in age from their teens to their 60s, and we’re delighted that three of you have already signed up as new club members. Lovely to have you on board and we hope you enjoy being part of our club.

Our annual Women’s Gliding Weekend (8th and 9th August) is proving as popular as ever with limited availability now remaining for Saturday and Sunday morning.

Supporting the British Gliding Association's initiative to encourage more women to take up gliding, our 2026 Women’s Gliding Weekend gives women the opportunity to experience gliding and to learn more about this diverse hobby.

Each participant will be given a half day 'introduction to gliding' course which comprises an introductory briefing and a flight to 2000ft in one of our modern two-seater gliders with a qualified pilot. You’ll also get to meet some of our female members and to find out what it’s like to be part of our club.

And, if you decide gliding’s for you, we'll even take the cost of your course off your annual membership fee.

If you'd like to learn more or to book your place, visit our website.

There are just a couple weeks to go until Father’s Day so if your struggling to find something really special for your Dad, why not treat him to an unforgettable experience - a Gliding Experience Flight.

You can choose between a 2000ft or a 3000ft flight experience which your Dad can arrange to have on a date and time to suit him. You and other family members are also very welcome to join him at the club where you can get refreshments at our Wings And Wheels Cafe .

Another great day at the Midlands Air Festival yesterday with people signing up for new memberships and our Women’s Gliding Weekend which will be held in August. While back at the club we were supporting pilots and display teams by providing fuel as well as refreshments at the Wings And Wheels Cafe . Pictured are some of our visitors from Team Raven sporting their stunning new 2026 livery, the Harvard and the Chipmunk.

After a lovely evening at the Midlands Air Festival talking to visitors and watching the evening events which included an impressive hot air balloon launch, we’re now ready for day two!

So, if you want to learn more about gliding pop over to our display area where we’ll be happy to explain how it all works and highlight the different aspects of this diverse hobby whether that’s long-distance flights, vintage gliding or simply learning to soar over the local countryside. Our ‘on-stand’ discounts are available again today for visitors who also have the opportunity to win a trial flight experience with us.

A busy day at the Midlands Air Festival today and the evening shift is now about to begin! It's been great talking to Festival visitors and also meeting fellow flyers who were attending the event. And the sun did come out eventually! Thanks also to the club members who've helped man our stand including (pictured) Bo, one of our junior members, Lee a power member who bases his Cub aeroplane at Bidford, Julia our Office Manager and Emma from our banner sponsors, TCN. Looking forward to the 'NightFire' event this evening and to meeting more visitors tomorrow!

Sadly we only have 1 and 2 seater aircraft at Bidford. No room for Bella (the dog) and it took us a little while to get her a safe distance from the launch point before Sue could have her experience flight. Sue is a member of the Romahome (small camper)community who spent the weekend at our club.
