Summer Evening Group Trial Lessons

Why not try one of our air experience evenings and do something really different. During the summer months we can offer something special for your company, club or group of friends. We can accommodate groups of between 6 and 20 people depending on the time of year.  Why not stay for dinner as well.  Our modern restaurant serves freshly cooked food or maybe just enjoy drink in our bar.  Party bookings can be catered for by prior arrangement. Evening Group Glider Flights cost just £50 per person.

The Flights

On arriving at the club you will be met by your instructor who will run through a few simple safety procedures before being taken to the launchpoint for your flight.  Once at the launcpoint you will be shown your glider and the instructor will point out the various controls and instruments that will be used or referred to during your flight.

Each flight is actually a gliding lesson and once in the glider you will be launched behind one of our 'Tug'  airplanes up to 2500ft.  Your instructor will be in control so this is your opportunity to enjoy the view across to the Hampshire countryside. Once at 2500ft the tow rope will be released and you will be invited to take the controls under the expert tuition of your instructor.  You will be shown how the controls work and the effect on the glider. Your instructor has a duplicate set of controls and is able therefore to ensure your safety at all times. 

 Please read the Mandatory Safety Notes

After Your Flight

When visiting the airfield for a glider flight you automatically become a temporary member of Lasham Gliding Society for three months and as such you are welcome to use our facilities during that period.

Our restaurant and bar are open every day throughout the summer for meals and snacks.  Large groups can be catered for by pre-booking through our catering manager. Subject to availability on the day, additional winch or aerotow launches may be purchased at club rates. You can, of course, come back and fly at club rates at any time during your trial membership period.

Join as a full flying member within your trial membership period and the usual Entrance Fee of £70 will be waived.
