A small friendly club enjoying some of the best conditions & scenery in the country. We’ve been gliding in South Wales for over 50 years.
Contrary to what most people think, gliding isn’t about flying around the airfield for 5 minutes. In good conditions a glider can be flown at very high altitudes or fly a very long distance, all without an engine. Several flights of over 500 km have been flown from Usk & the club height record is over 30,000 feet!

Brief history
South Wales Gliding Club, also known as Usk Gliding Club, was formed in 1962 but moved to the current site near Usk in 1974.
Facilities
The club has evolved over the years & as we have grown so have our premises. On-site facilities include a clubhouse with kitchen, bar, washrooms & training facilities. We hold regular social events through the year.
Who we are
We are a group of about 80 individuals, all passionate about flying. The club is completely run by volunteers, including our highly qualified instructors.
Our members come from all walks of life & a wide range of age groups, so you’re bound to fit in!
Our aircraft
The club maintains a fleet of 10 aircraft & various other support vehicles. These include our 2-seat training gliders, single seat gliders along with tow planes. Our ground fleet keeps us moving & includes our SkyLaunch winch, tractors & buggies.
Many of our members own their own gliders which are also kept on site.
