Gliding clubs near Oxford
Oxford Gliding Club, Weston on the Green - weekends only, winch launches only (but good ones), small, cheap, cheerful, launch rate sometimes inhibited by parachuting ops, 2 x K13, 1 x DG 505, 1 x T21, 2 x K8, 2 x Astir in club fleet (it's where I fly)
Windrushers (Bicester) - 7 day week (I think), winch (low) and aerotow (pricey). Nice place, their own site.
Aquila (Hinton in the Hedges) - aerotow only, mainly weekends but some weekday ops. Aifield also has GA ops & parachuting but it seems to work
Shenington (N of Banbury) winch, aerotow, own site seems to be a pretty good club
Upward Bound Trust - Haddenham - winch only, not to great heights. Mainly for teaching "yoof" - not ideal for general gliding I suspect.
Of course there are Aston Down & Nympsfield to the west of Oxford and Booker (expensive) to the southeast but I've never flown at any of them
Send me a PM if you need more info on Oxford GC. All the clubs have websites - see the BGA website for contacts.
