It's a while away yet, but I hope you can commit and put this in your diaries now. Join me and other R10 members on Thursday 12th July 2018 for evening gliding at Dunstable Downs – available to the first 24 members (with one guest only) who reply and return their booking forms to me.
For just 27.50 per person, you will be launched from a ground winch to about 1000 feet, spending the next few minutes passing over roads you've never seen before, and really appreciate how the countryside starts at the Dunstable Downs.
For £60.00 per person, if there are enough people to merit it, a tow plane will take you up to 2000 feet.
The entire group must arrive at the meeting point by 6pm promptly to receive the safety briefing – without this, you will not be able to fly!!
Imagine cruising through the sky, turning and climbing, and leaving the world behind. Imagine escaping from the bustle on the ground, being free of the congestion, noise and heat. You can see for miles. Your head is perfectly positioned to take in the view, and there are no pillars or posts to obscure it.
Your experienced instructor will teach you the basics of flying gliders. This will certainly include turning, and if the weather is right this turn will probably be in rising air, or a thermal. You may be able to take the controls. Then there will be a gentle downhill glide to the smoothest landing of your life.
Following the flying session, we have the option of eating for reasonable additional cost in the Club’s restaurant, or we can adjourn to a different venue. Between now and the date of the event, I will check out the facilities on offer at the Club, to ensure they meet our exacting standards!!
Please find attached the London Gliding Club’s flyer. For further information visit www.londonglidingclub.co.uk.
As ever, please use only this thread to indicate your attendance or to request further information. I will then email you a temporary membership application form and instructions for its return to me. Due to the expected popularity of this event, you will only be added to the attendance list once I have received your properly completed application.
Happy flying!
