...to the Norfolk Gliding Club website.

We are a long established gliding club that has been operating from our own Second World War airfield at Tibenham, in South Norfolk, for over 40 years.

The large area of uncontrolled airspace around South Norfolk provides an excellent environment in which to enjoy gliding, one of the most exciting sports there is. This means that in addition to the regular gliding operations which take place every day we also provide a successful venue for a series of National Gliding competitions during each year.

If you are looking for entry into the exciting sport of Gliding we offer attractive packages to help get you started. Whatever package you choose, fully qualified BGA instructors will fly with you, teach you the correct techniques and guide you towards your goal. Details of available packages can be found below. Gliding is a sport in which the majority of people can participate, whether you are young or old, or if you are of limited mobility.

We are currently in a development phase of our history and have some exciting plans which have been developed to enhance and extend our facilities. Our first delivery is the construction of a new powered aircraft hangar which is due to open at the end of January 2007. Please visit this web site often in the future as we will be keeping everyone informed of our progress on a regular basis.

Please browse through our web site at your leisure. If you require any additional information about the Club or what we can do for you please get in touch with use using the Contact Us page.
