About the Gliding Club
The University of York Gliding Club flies from the York Gliding Centre in Rufforth.
We charge £10 membership for the academic year, although York Sport membership is also currently required. Instruction in dual-control gliders from qualified instructors is free, although in exchange you’re expected to help out with the gliders on the ground, when you aren’t flying. After that the only cost is getting into the air (there’s no per-minute fee for students): a winch launch is £6.00 and an aerotow to 2000 feet is £22.50.
We usually meet at Goodricke Cash Point (outside the Physics entrance), and recently we’ve been going on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
