Magalies Gliding Club

We offer an “introduction to gliding day”. This includes:-

1) Full day membership to the club and as such you are able to bring family and friends as guests to enjoy the club facilities.

2) Soaring society day membership.

3) One of three introductory flight options.

a) A pure Gliding introduction flight. The flight is normally 30 minutes but as it is a weather related sport neither the time of day or duration is guaranteed.

b) Or a 30 minute introduction flight in a motorised self launching glider where the glider climbs to altitude and then glides for the rest of the flight.

c) Or a 30 minute scenic introduction flight in a motorised glider.

You can book any Saturday or Sunday of your choice and an approximate time for the flight through myself, or you can arrive any weekend day at the club at about 10:00am and join the “introduction to gliding day” queue. However the flight would not be booked and may only happen later in the day. You only pay if you fly.

If you wish to have an “introduction to gliding day” gift voucher, you must book and pre pay. Please email the payment confirmation to gliderflight@webmail.co.za and I will email the voucher per return.

Should the flight not take place for any reason you can rebook for another day or the money is fully refundable. Sorry we do not take credit cards at this stage. The voucher is valid indefinitely but subject to any price adjustments over time.

Please bring any food, refreshments, sunscreen and hats you may require for the day. Also some camping chairs and a sun umbrella will add to your comfort. There is a clubhouse with normal facilities for your personal comfort.

After flying there is a full bar and a self catering braai facility and we invite you and your friends to the clubhouse to enjoy the evening with us.

You can find a detailed breakdown on the costs involved in obtaining a GPL under the costs tab.
