Donation 

​​

We’re proud to own and maintain the original runway and control tower of the 447 Bomb Group. Gliding club members volunteer to spend several days per year on runway maintenance. In August 2024, we set ourselves a multi-year objective to raise £60,000 to do badly needed repairs to the runway (members will still volunteer their time).  


You can use this page to make a donation. We’re a Community Amateur Sports Club (CASC) which means we can claim Gift Aid from HM Revenue at no extra cost to you. You have to be a UK Tax Payer and provide your name and address at checkout.


We’ll update this page as we make progress! Click below  to find out more.

Gliding is more sensitive to weather conditions than flying in a commercial airliner.  Gliding is an adventurous air sport and as such is not as safe as travelling on a commercial airliner.  Gliding clubs operate under carefully developed safety requirements. If you are looking for a totally risk free sport, gliding may not be right for you. The CAA provides guidance on flying in general aviation aircraft here.
