Can someone give me some hints of good clubs to fly in the
czech republic at the end of august. English or french site

I can't help you with flying in the Czech republic... but I may be able
to help you with those Czech web sites...

Install the Google Chrome web browser, it has a built-in feature that
allows it to figure out that the language of the website you are visiting
is not your local language, and it offers to pipe the whole website
through a translator... it does a remarkably good job too... worked great
for me on Russian, Chinese and Polish sites... technology today is
brilliant.

If you're near Prague you could try Aeroclub Kralupy at Sazena, 50°
19'8.60"N, 14°15'46.87"E - go there with Google Earth and you'll see
gliders out on the field (image is copyright 2010). I visited in 1997
when the Free Flight Aeromodel World Championship was run there. It was a
pretty well equipped club back then, and I see they still have an
airworthy Antonov A-15 and (probably) a hangar-full of Blaniks.

Even thought the image has a copyright of 2012. The Imagery Date is March 4, 2004.

If you will be near Prague, try Benesov, LKBE airfield,
http://www.minfo.cz/benesov-info/zi_informace.php
web page is in Czech only, but Bene Info 118.000 communicates also in
English
(not always common on other sites).

There is professional gliding school here,
http://www.aero-gac.cz/document_root/index.php?action=nabidkaletu
with some gliders for rent,
currently 5x VSO10 (performance similar to ASW 15), Twin Astir,
Blaniks, Dimona,
often also ASK 21 for aerobatics.
Contact school chief/owner Milos Ramert mentioned in Contacts if
interested.
Thermic weather near Benesov is usually one of the best in CZ,
and GAC school flies everyday, if weather permits.
