The real benefits of club flying come with membership. Club Members
have access to all club equipment and instructors. The club is
a not-for-profit organization and strives to promote the sport
of soaring by providing facilities, equipment and instruction
at as affordable rates as possible.
As an example a tow to 2000ft AGL is $22 for members. Rental of
a single-place Schweizer 1-26 glider is $22 per hour. Junior member
rates are significantly less. There are several levels of membership
including full, family and junior.

Important Note: We have experienced a large growth in membership over the last two years. In order to ensure that we maintain an appropriate balance of students : instructors, members : aircraft and aircraft : towing and field capacity there may from time to time be a waiting list for membership depending on the type of application - e.g. new primary student, transition student, licensed pilot, glider owner etc. Overall we would rather you experience a short wait for initial membership than long waits to get to fly as a member and that as a result your overall experience will be more positive and you will be more likely to stay in the sport long term and help us grow and promote soaring overall.
