There are some excellent link pages out there for gliding on the web and we won't try to do better. Start at the BGA (British Gliding Association) website.
For a comprehensive list of British Gliding Clubs, go to the
which also has a sexy, clickable map to help you find your nearest club.
Our gliding club has operated on a grace and favour basis from Walney Airfield since 1946 and full time from 1964. Walney Airfield is owned by BAE. BAE have a new website for their Barrow operation and have asked us to provide a link to their website. Check out http://www.worklifebarrow.co.uk which is aimed at being a definitive guide to living and working in south Cumbria.
There is a local link to the Walney Island Air Show web site

worth a look.
The next show will be in 2009.
