Hi folks,
Does anyone know of anywhere near to the Midlands who could do an intensive course on weekdays or anyone who could point me in the right direction?
Cheers,:ok:

Hinton (Brackley/Banbury) is still doing it - just completed my Nav Test in a T61F with Pilot Flight Training, just my QXC and NST to go! :ok:
Contact Clive at PFT: The MotorGlider Club | Pilot flight training and lessons (http://www.motorgliderclub.co.uk) he often has people doing intensive training
I think Enstone are still quite active too

not sure about intensive courses, but hadair.co.uk (http://www.hadair.co.uk) at Wolverhampton Airport do the NPPL with onsite exams... They run Ikarus C42 fixed and flex wings as well (if you're into that kind of thing). Doing my RT course/exam there tomorrow. PM me if you want more info. :ok:
In addition to those mentioned previously, although not in the midlands, Bicester gliding club definitely does NPPL (SLMG) training and I believe Shennington gliding club near Banbury does too.
In fact a number of gliding clubs have started to do NPPL (SLMG) training, so there may be more.
