A provisional member enjoys all the privileges of a flying member excepting that he has no voting rights at any club meetings. This probationary period allows the provisional member to assess whether gliding is really for them. Regular attendance, active participation and a willingness to learn and to get along with other members are the main considerations. The club arranges GFA membership for Provisional Members. The clubhouse next to the airfield is jointly owned and managed by the clubs using the airfield.
Members can relax there after a day's flying.
Catering and bar facilities are available and bunkroom style accommodation for members wishing to stay overnight is provided for a small fee. This club is run entirely by voluntary effort which brings the pleasures of learning to fly within the reach of ordinary people young and old. Flying is taught by members of a panel of qualified instructors. The training program is designed to produce safe, competent pilots who display skill, initiative and good airmanship. The various levels of proficiency in gliding are recognised by certificates which are granted after completion of specified tests for duration, distance flown and height gained.
