→Introductory Information
If you haven't done any flying before, you'll need to book training slots with an instructor in the two-seater gliders. See the section below for more information on how to do this. You'll tend to go out to the airfield for either a half or full day, and you'll share your instructor with one other person.
You'll need to get transport out to the airfield. '''By Car:''' Lifts are offered and requested on the on the transport mailing list. We also have a [[Transport sharing| spreadsheet where taxis are organised]] on a regular basis. Some instructors consistently offer lifts, so if you book with them on the two-seater system you can be sure of a lift. Their names can be found on the transport spreadsheet. It's best to book your training slots on days that you know you will have transport. '''By Bike / Bus:''' [http://cugc.org.uk/about-club/directions/ See information here.]
When you're not flying, you'll be helping out on the ground to get other people in the air. There's plenty to do, and people will be happy to show you how to do things the first time you're there, just ask! Make sure you're willing to help: those who help out more are likely to get more flying!
