Herefordshire Gliding Club is a small group of friends, brought together at Shobdon Airfield in the beautiful Welsh border country where we enjoy gliding with minimal airspace restrictions. 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 our qualified instructors. There are no age restrictions, other than that pilots under the age of sixteen are not allowed to fly solo. The hard surface runway allows us to fly every weekend of the year. All launching is by aerotow, which is by far the safest and most reliable method. | There are social functions, inter club competitions, course weeks, club task weeks, and visiting club weeks.
