Hi, Then ident .....
Shenington is a 7 day a week club, friendly, like a family. Monday through Friday Kath runs the winch, Derek or Dick are the professional instructors.
Saturday and Sunday club members run the show, by rota.
Costs £230 a year, and a winch launch is £7. Aerotows at the moment are £28 to 2,000 but that may go down. If petrol doesn't go up again!
There are nearby B&B's, or you can stay in the bunkhouse for £5 a night, but it is rather basic. Or you can camp on the airfield.
There is no parachute club on site. Basically, it is a dedicated gliding site, with 2 hard runways running aprox NS and EW, and a large grass runway with extensions, so plenty of places to land.
There is also a ridge, which works in a NW wind very nicely. One dedicated chap did his 5 hours in February on our ridge.
It is also convenient for X-country soaring, few airspace problems. Lots of thermals.
If you Google Shenington Gliding Club you can access the website.
We have about 120 members. And a bar.
And we are running a regional competition from 4th July through l2th.
LOL!
