Full flying membership of the club confers access to all of the club's facilities, including use of the gliders at competitive rates. Except on holiday courses (where instruction is included in the course fee), instruction is free to all club members, and those under 21 benefit from half price flying charges and discounted membership rates.

On our extensive airfield (about 134ha), the club buildings include hangar, glider workshops, winch garage and workshop, heated parachute storage, battery charging, a comfortable clubhouse with dining room, tv room, lounge, bar, office, briefing room, and overnight accommodation in centrally heated bunkrooms and private rooms with modern showers and toilet facilities

The club operates 7 days a week from mid-March until the end of October and from Thursday through Sunday and other suitable flying days throughout the winter. In summer, evening flying takes place on most days, with evening courses for club members held on several evenings each week .
