North Wales Gliding Club (NWGC), is an amateur sports club. Run by the members, for the members. We currently have a fleet of three two seater gliders, two K13s and a PW-6 (an advanced training aircraft), along with a single seater, an Astir. The club provides training to Solo and beyond, so caters for all levels of ability.
What could be better on a gorgeous, sunny day than flying silently along, using the natural energy of the sun and air to glide as smoothly and as freely as any bird?
A rare opportunity to see a large part of beautiful North Wales from the air, during quiet flight as a passenger in one of our two seater gliders, on a clear day the views are fantastic from Llangollan to the Irish Sea and Snowdon to the Cheshire Plain.

Services

Visiting Pilots
We try to fly every weekend, all year round and every Public Holiday, except Christmas day. If in doubt then please get in touch with Ian Masson, via the ‘Contact us‘ window on the Home page, or ‘About us‘ menu button.

Existing Pilots from other BGA affiliated clubs
If you are a pilot from another gliding club, then you can usually fly on a reciprocal membership basis. You should bring your logbook and identify yourself to the Duty Instructor or Duty Pilot and discuss your flying experience as well as receiving a briefing on site procedures. You will, of course, be required to fly check flights with an instructor before being let loose on club equipment.

People new to Gliding
A common question that we are frequently asked is “How much does it cost and how do I organise it?”. The short answer is that a flight costs £90. However, there is more to it than that. Your £90 actually gets you two month’s membership of the club and you can then fly at club rates for the duration of your temporary membership if you enjoy your first flight (see the fees page by clicking here or using the FEES button on the button bar).

You will receive instructions with your voucher including a contact number to call to arrange your flight. When you do turn up at the field for your flight, tell the first person you meet that you wish to fly and you will be extended every courtesy – guests are always very welcome. Maps showing the way to the field are available by clicking here or on the FIND US button above.

For anyone visiting the club, there are a number of local businesses which provide services and which our members frequently use. We would encourage all visitors to the club to support the local businesses near the club.

If you want a drink and something to eat there is the Crown in Llandegla, the Ponderosa Café at the top of the Horseshoe Pass towards Llangollan and the café at Oneplanet Adventure, the mountain bike centre in Llandegla Forrest.

There is also the Village shop in Llandegla where you can buy drinks, snack, etc.
