Cheapest Club (was Best Gliding Club Website)
There are lots of excellent gliding club websites and most of them
give an indication of the rates for flying. It struck me that the Goldfields Gliding Club must have the cheapest rates currently anywhere in the world. Entry fee is about $14, annual membership is around $60, a winch launch costs less than $3 and an minute is $0.14 (including K7, K13, ASK 21, ASK 23, ASW 19 and ASW 20). Instruction is by an instructors panel which includes national team members and world record holders and is provided free of charge. The club owns its own airfield with hangerage available for private gliders for $12/month (thank goodness I don't have to rig my LAK every time I want to fly). The club has no dept and we try to keep the rates as affordable for as many people as possible. Couple these rates to some of the best thermal conditions around with masses of large, flat fields and it feels as if I fly at the best club in the world. Clinton LAK 12 |
