Christmas with a difference
As Christmas fast approaches, you may be looking for unusual, yet highly memorable Christmas gift and present ideas for your family, loved ones and friends. This year, why not try the gift of a trial flight in one of our modern two-seater gliders? It is sure to be a fun and much-talked about activity that will be forever fondly remembered.
Our selection of Christmas gifts cover all budgets, from a top-of-the-range Premier Experience Day down to branded mugs, fleeces, t-shirts, books and other gift items and stocking fillers.
Special Christmas gifts and presents available now
Remember, our Christmas gliding gifts are not just for the recipient but also for all the family and friends, who can come and share the excitement of the flight.
Where possible, we recommend vouchers intended as Christmas gifts are pre-ordered to allow a personalised message to be added, making it an extra special Christmas present. Mugs, t-shirts and other gift items are available for sale through the office or on the day itself, as further Christmas ideas.
Please contact the club office before leaving home on the day itself to confirm that we are flying. Rain, high winds and poor visibility can restrict our activities, plus an idea of the present and expected weather conditions on the airfield will also allow you to dress appropriately.
Perfect Christmas presents
Our Xmas gift voucher packages will deliver the experience of a lifetime. All the following will include a thorough safety briefing before the trial flight or flights. The lucky recipient of the voucher will have the opportunity to handle the controls under the tutelage of the instructor, or to just enjoy the view.
We recommend all visitors wear warm and practical clothes (including sensible shoes) for the day of the flight. Those not flying are welcome to visit the launch point and see the flying operations first-hand.
