Fri, 6th April 2012 to Mon, 9th April 2012

A mini comp practice for those who want to have a first taste of competition flying or for those who want to start building up their skills in preparation for future competitions. An early chance to clear the cobwebs and start spreading those wings. You're an experienced X-country pilot? See if you can put some clear air between you and your closest competitors. Never lost site of the club? Come and fly with an experienced pilot and get a test of what it feels like to settle into a final glide after fighting your way round the tasks...

Soaring Course/Task Week
Sat, 12th May 2012 to Sun, 20th May 2012

London Gliding Club
Hesitant to spread your wings beyond gliding distance of the LGC? New to cross-country flying and looking for ways to develop your skills? Already competing and looking for training opportunities to improve your speed? This week has something for everyone. It will offer you the chance to learn, analyse, and improve your skills. A great moment to share with fellow pilots.

Task Week
Sat, 21st July 2012 to Sun, 29th July 2012

London Gliding Club
Another occasion to learn about and polish up cross-country skills. Not ready to go on you own? Want to learn how it's done? Don't despair you can fly with an experienced cross-country pilot who will show you the techniques used to fly away and return (or land out, ahah...) to Dunstable. Run a little like, but not as pressured as a competition, you will learn about the weather, NOTAMS, task setting, and how to fly cross-country, and you will go away with a huge sense of achievement!
