ok, to answer your question, Midland Gliding Club at the Long Mynd. In an East wind. Phone first.
Very good thinking. I run a fly-in at an unlicensed site every year and a couple of years ago a PA28 got himself into bother. Chatting with the group instructor the next day I was surprised to find that their insurance did not cover landing at unlicensed strips, the whole thing was written down in their group agreement and covered in a series of instructions each group member held, but this pilot had not read it. Actually he hadn't read the POH or performance for take-off on a hot day from a grass strip with fuel to the tabs and three up.
