Description

design/standard/templates/content/datatype/view/eztext.tpl

By joining UWE gliding you can experience the thrill of gliding, at what is likely to be the most affordable price you will see in your lifetime. For just £15 membership per year, and £6 per launch, you will be saving over £100 on normal gliding prices.

The price includes free instruction from a qualified gliding instructor, giving you the opportunity to reach the level of solo pilot. This will eventually result in the opportunity to go on cross country flights, over typical distances of around 300 - 500 km. Gliding is a truly exhilarating sport!
