Group bookings and corporate events
We offer the chance for groups of families, friends or colleagues to come together and sample the delights of gliding. Corporate groups will benefit from an activity which inspires confidence in individuals, and encourages a team spirit. We cater for groups of between 4 and 12 people.

The flight
Upon arrival, the group will receive a full pre-flight briefing. Each individual will then take an instructional flight, known as a Trial Lesson. This provides an excellent introduction to gliding; and is flown with a fully qualified British Gliding Association instructor, in a dual controlled glider. Each flight normally lasts around 20 to 30 minutes. Follow the trial lesson link for more details.

After the flight
After you have all flown, why not relax and reflect on your experience with a drink and a delicious meal at one of our local pubs or hotel restaurants? We can arrange a table at a number of local establishments offering everything from a "light bite" to a formal dinner. Please discuss your requirements when booking. Before your departure from the club, you will also be presented with a commemorative group photograph.

Costs
£58 per person for the trial lesson. At 15% off our normal price, this represents excellent value. Participants also benefit from 28 days free membership, and the opportunity to take subsequent flights at club rates during this period.

When and how to book your group event
We operate 7 days a week during the summer, and at weekends throughout the rest of the year. Group bookings can be tailored to suit your specific requirements. Please call Liz to discuss your particular booking weekday mornings on 01874 711463 or email us at enquiries@blackmountainsgliding.co.uk
