Needwood Forest Gliding Club

[Rob Shepherd]

Has anyone flown from there or been a member?

I'm thinking of moving clubs for a couple of reasons but thought I'd see
if anyone had any views on here before I go take a look.

Cheers

Sounds like the perfect place to fly a Cherokee, or maybe
a BG-12. Duster, perhaps. Ka-6 or 8.

No, you're better off with a glider built with water-resistant
materials if you want to fly in the UK. Wooden ones get soggy!

They should change the name to Needglass or Needmdetal in that case...

If your still interested I did fly at needwood forest a year or so back
when I was working in the area.

From the one day I spent there they seemed like a really friendly bunch -
Its quite a small club but had a reasonable fleet, I think I flew in a
DG500, and a nice long field for good height winch launches.

I would definately recomend going and paying them a visit and find out
what there like for yourself!

Hope this helps
