THE HEREFORDSHIRE GLIDING CLUB

Shobdon Airfield, Herefordshire. HR6 9NR

Telephone 01568 - 708908


Herefordshire Gliding Club is a small group of friends, brought together to enjoy gliding in one of the geographically most suitable areas of the country.
Voluntary administration and instruction allow us to keep our charges to a minimum.

Our two seater training gliders enable the novice to make quick progress under the supervision of qualified instructors . There are no age restrictions, other than that pilots under the age of sixteen are not allowed to fly solo. All launching is by aerotow, which is by far the safest and most reliable method.

The hard surface runway allows us to fly every weekend of the year, weather permitting.

There are social functions, inter club competitions, course weeks, club weeks, and visiting club weeks.
