A Trial Lesson Voucher entitles the holder to a trial gliding lesson at Stratford Gliding Club. A Gift Voucher costs £50. A Gold Voucher entitles the holder to two trial gliding lessons at Stratford Gliding Club on the same day. A Gold Voucher costs £70.

Our qualified instructors give gliding lessons in one of our two seater, dual control gliders, and they will offer you every opportunity to handle the controls once the glider is airborne.

The vouchers are similar to greetings cards, and are intended as presents for family and friends. They open up like a greetings card, have space inside for a personal message, and have advice on the back about how to contact us, find our airfield, and what to wear.

If you'd like to give somebody a Gift Voucher, please contact Ian Kennedy by phone on 01676 540320 (10am-7pm please) or by email. We can also accept online payment, but please read the information page before you commit to paying.

There will be a full briefing on safety, the glider controls, and what to expect during the flights. The duration of each flight depends entirely on the conditions of the day and, because of the uncertainties of the weather, we cannot guarantee flight times. However there is no time limit for using the voucher, so it can be kept it until fine weather when the chance of a thermal soaring flight is better. In that event each flight may last a maximum of 20 minutes in the air. After landing there will be a debrief, the Instructor will record the flight details on a logsheet and starting the following day you will be entitled to 28 day membership of our club. You may then return, if you wish, and take more flights at club rates, under the same system as all other club members.

We can usually welcome visitors at weekends, and we are open seven days a week during the summer. We fly all year round when conditions are suitable, but because of the nature of our operation and the uncertainties of the weather, we cannot offer an advance booking arrangement. We will do our best to fly you on the day that you want, but there are always circumstances when it may not be possible. Please call the Club in the morning of the day that you want to fly, on 01789-731095, and we will book you in for the approximate time that you would like to visit us.

There are some constraints on the age, size, and health of the people we can fly with. The only considerations are for your safety and the safety of your instructor. If any of these apply to the person you are buying the voucher for, please read the relevant information. If you are in any doubt, please contact Ian Kennedy by phone on 01676 540320 (10am-7pm please) or by email.
