As for the Voulenteer Gliding schools, why dont these people join private gliding clubs? ITS TO EXPENSIVE!!!! sttaight from the horses mouth
Actually private gliding clubs, particularly the GSA, is quite cheep, and a lot are members of private clubs. I think your looking at the wrong end of your horse! The simple answer is that the VGSs are not flying/gliding clubs and don't operate as such. I am speaking with regard to recent years, as a lot has changed. Effectively they are elementry training units. A private club it's more like your local golf club, a completely different atmosphere with completely different aims!
